Yeah I live in an area with a Mennonite population (Shenandoah valley VA) and they don’t seem to be averse to mainstream healthcare. Or mainstream society in general. The Mennonite (and offshoot, brethren) churches in my area do a lot of good, important social work. There’s a Mennonite university with really cool programs around social justice and peace. I like ‘em. Also, if you have ever seen these yard signs, they were originally made by one of the Mennonite churches here.

I’m familiar with that university, Eastern Mennonite, right? Very highly regarded in the peacemaking and conflict resolution communities.
