What explains the edit changing from 4 mission districts to 5? The official web site says 4. Has this changed and they just haven't updated it yet? Thanks.

[edit] Update to MCUSA.org

I am the Web Admin for the Missionary Church Inc. Web site and I updated the Wikipedia information. I was unaware that the changes had not been made. I'll correct the mcusa.org Web site to reflect the changes. Thanks.

[edit] In recent years, the Missionary Church has sought a closer return to its Mennonite roots

This assertion is dubious, especially in recent years as the denomination has moved towards more involvement in government and influencing government. Further, the visit of President Bush to Bethel College, and Bethel College's endorsement of the president's policies argue strongly against the idea of the denomination returning to its Mennonite Roots. As a member of the Missionary Church within a large and strong Mennonite community in Indiana, I continually witness the hierachy and congregations of the Missionary Church question the authenticity of Mennonite Christian witness. I hope someone from the Mennonite and Missionary Church communities would continue the comment on this.66.249.230.212 21:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Steve Pierzchala, layman
