The Ban - Community E11
The ban is that thing in the Anabaptist closet. Stories abound of this severe and condemnatory method of church discipline—its use and mostly its misuse. But what was it that Anabaptists intended and is there a redemptive way to employ the ban? Find the transcript, study questions, show notes and more at www.TheArmchairAnabaptist.ca.

Kleine Gemeinde - Community E10
The Anabaptist suspicion of top-down leadership remains alive and well in EMC churches, but does congregational governance actually work, and if not, why not and what are the alternatives? If leaders shouldn’t have or don’t accept power, where does the power go? Find the transcript, study questions and more at www.TheArmchairAnabaptist.ca.

Church V State - Community E9
Mennonites have had an ambivalent relationship with politics from their earliest days, and despite our move into evangelicalism this flavour remains. In today’s episode we ask what the church’s obligation is to the state? What is the state’s obligation to the church and how should Christians interact with politics?

In But Not Of - Community E8
In the world, but not of it, has been a particular challenge for Anabaptists who isolated themselves early in their history and still carry some of that culture. Guests today acknowledge the strengths but also challenge some of the assumptions we may make about things like holiness, our culture and our role in the world.

The Body - Community E7
Is the body just a helpful analogy of how the church functions together or is it more than that? Is it expressing something more real? And if that is true, is the connection between baptism and membership more important than we may think? Find out what guests Dave Reimer, Betty Pries, Layton Friesen and Patrick Franklin say to those questions.

Everything in Common - Community E6
The episode dives into the iconic and very challenging picture of community life portrayed in Acts 2. Whether that makes you nervous about what’s coming or eager, you’ll find a range of potential applications of the early church model and plenty of things to think about. As you might expect, some are quite radical but some may surprise you too. This episode’s guests are Dr. Kara Mandryk, Travis and Rosey Zacharias, Steve Bell and Shane Claiborne.

God With Us - Community E5
After looking at the beginning and at the end, we’re back to the centre of the gospel story—Jesus—born and raised with a human body like everyone else on earth. What does that fact—something that’s so basic it’s easy to overlook it completely—mean for how we live as Jesus' followers? What does it mean for a believing community? This episode’s guests, Dr. Stuart Murray, Dr. Betty Pries, Dr. Beth Stovell and Dr. Patrick Franklin consider what happens when we don’t understand that or get it wrong and what the impact on the community is when we comprehend the significance of Jesus having a body.

At the End - Community E4
Having looked at the beginning, Jesse and Andrew now ask if you can find guidelines for community in Revelation. Does the plan, or design God has for things will end, provide insight about what our communities should look like? Guests Dave Reimer, Dr. Kara Mandryk, Dr. Beth Stovell and Shane Claiborne approach the question from a range of viewpoints about what Revelation means for us now or even if it speaks to the question of community at all.
