Query to Annual Conference of The Old German Baptist Brethren Church (New Conference) Cedarville University – 2017
With the desire to maintain and promote love, peace, and unity; and to present a consistent witness as a part of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, we, as a district, accepted the recommendation of a committee of six adjoining Elders to make an appeal to this Annual Conference.
We ask for a committee of nine Elders to be appointed to study the subject of marriage and divorce and the reconciling of a first marriage following an adulterous relationship and a second marriage ending in an annulment.
We, as a district, ask: Is it against biblical teaching for a husband to be reunited to his wife who has divorced him and remarried?
We ask that this committee bring a report back to Annual Conference for discussion and a brotherhood voice at a later date.
