Mennonites Merge: In a vote eclipsing all expectations, the Mennonite Church (based in Elkhart, Ind.) and the General Conference Mennonite Church (based in Newton, Kan.) merged to form the Mennonite Church USA. The new denomination brings together the 125,000 members of the two groups. Over 95% of the 10,000 delegates in Nashville voted for the merger. (PWB 6/12/01)
