Numerous requests were made that the General Conference publish revised Articles of Faith of the General Conference of the Mennonite Church of North America.
The following Committee on Confession of Faith was elected for this purpose by the General Conference: Rev. P. R. Aeschliman, Rev. W. S. Gottschall, Dr. J. H. Langenwalter, Dr. Rodolphe Petter and Rev. P. H. Richert. This committee proposed these Articles of Faith to the General Conferences of 1926 and 1929.
The General Conference of 1929 referred them to the congregations "for examination and eventual approval or rejection." Consequently the First Mennonite Church of Berne, Indiana, examined these Articles of Faith through a series of sermons preached by its pastor. This resulted in their unanimous approval by the church at its regular annual business meeting on Jan. 1, 1932.
These Articles of Faith are printed in their present form as approved of by the First Mennonite Church of Berne, Indiana, and by authority of the General Conference of the Mennonite Church of North America. May they be instrumental to establish our church in "The Faith which was once delivered unto the saints."
