Biblical Mennonite Alliance
- Biblical Mennonite Alliance
The Biblical Mennonite Alliance (BMA) is a moderately conservative constituency within the Anabaptist tradition and practice. The group resulted from a split with the Conservative Mennonite Conference. In a 1999 meeting, CMC took a vote that failed to uphold the required practice of the woman’s veiling. This was the final straw in a series of issues that increasingly alienated conservative congregations within the conference. These churches broke from CMC and formed BMA. [D.L. Miller 1999] In the 2005 BMA Directory, the membership was calculated to be at 1,669. BMA retains a governmental body similar to CMC and individual congregational practice still varies widely.
