Clymer, "Conversion from Ethnic Mennonite to a Convinced Anabaptist: Lessons for a Christianity in a Post-Christendom 21st Century" This chapter gives a personal testimony of the author's life-long struggle to embody the ideals of Anabaptism. The narrative follows the author's journey from being an ethnic Mennonite to becoming a convinced Anabaptist; from being embarrassed to being radicalized; from embracing liberation theology and the social gospel to undertaking an inner journey of contemplation and prayer; from claiming a simple faith to acknowledging an eclectic mix of spirituality that could serve as a “Third Way” response to a post-Christendom world of the 21st century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/1418085995474-NRGL6MGH9X265BAR45DE/image-asset.jpeg Book "A Living Alternative" http://donclymer.com/book-nav daily 0.75 2014-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/1403037845513-P5BOFNX6AH0D1EBU083C/MeditationsCover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/1403994682805-6YYAM27S935OQW69QEPT/image-asset.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/1403994515431-SHT9R8EGD79FGYLVLI8E/goodreads_icon_256.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/1417964555202-B1BZFFEL3HCO3QO3V4SC/image-asset.png Books Look for a chapter by Don Clymer in the soon-to-be-released book "A Living Alternative." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/1404241650432-4T3GE016J0EO25CUF3YT/DClymer-6.b.jpg Books http://donclymer.com/invite-don daily 0.75 2014-10-12 http://donclymer.com/translation-work daily 0.75 2017-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/1486671968521-NID2EVORASKUCTB5JITY/2017-02-09+21.22.38.jpg Translation work http://donclymer.com/klymer-klatsch-blog daily 0.75 2019-08-17 http://donclymer.com/book-coming-of-age-in-honduras daily 0.75 2025-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/f10db578-e4f0-4efe-9bc5-1dc63cf4cace/Clymer_Coming_5.5x8.5_CVR.jpg Book: "Coming of Age in Honduras" - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://donclymer.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2025-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53448da5e4b0233041dce879/97cf3bf4-43c8-4b08-8ff7-3e100ab682bd/469798162_8773642659420539_4417316772249840847_n.jpg New book just released - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
