Which Reminds Me

Our great-great-grandmother Rhoda Burry was the granddaughter of Jacob Burry, who came to the United States in 1818, at age 33, from Walhern, Canton Berne, Switzerland. Public records record of his confirmation at age 49 at St. Paul's German Lutheran Reform Church. So the Burrys were apparently Reformed people but we are not them. We in our generation belong to the Assemblies of God denomination which dedicates children and baptizes adults. That does not mean that we have any Mennonites in our family. Lots of Christian groups adhere to adult baptism and are not Mennonites. We sort of view the Mennonites as extreme in their separatism but we are separatists in some ways. Maybe the Butterfields have some other idea on this point but we are not them.
