Nonconformity in Cross-Cultural Context (MP3)

Faith Builders Colloquy 2013
The historical Anabaptist church responded to the divine call to separate from the corruption of the world to follow God in holiness. Today, too often our vision of nonconformity is negative or weak. We may see separation and nonconformity either as avoiding certain cultural patterns of our current society, or as a set of distinctive behaviors to mark the people of God. What is the doctrine of separation and nonconformity, and how can its practice speak with power even today?
In this presentation, Val Yoder describes the response of unchurched people around the world when they see the “beauty of holiness” expressed in the nonconformed lives of believers.
