 Scott
While this narrative often tends to frame historical changes in (old) Mennonite Church polity rather simplistically as a struggle between conservative keepers of tradition and liberal advocates of change, it does capture quite effectively and sympathetically the old order and conservative views of changes in the Mennonite Church.
In fact, I can imagine that some congregations in the conservative districts of the Mennonite Church’s Lancaster Conference (say Juniata or Martindale) are closer in cultural and spiritual identity to ultra to moderate conservative groups than are many of the more culturally liberal congregations in Conservative Conference.
There is among ultra to moderate conservatives a rather profound commitment to "getting it right," a commitment that leads conservatives to investigate the meaning of Christian obedience in every single aspect of life.

 Rosedale Bible College : Vision : Conference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
After all what would a Mennonite be, if weren’t for a little bit of the “old legalistic charm?” I say right away if Anabaptism is something extra, something optional, something separable from being consistently Evangelical, then I don’t have a lot of time for it and we should give it the old heave-ho.
Nonconformity is an idea that has created a lot of pain in Mennonite history, and it seems always to have allowed for legalism and authoritarianism to flourish, but it is a New Testament idea, and abuses of the past can’t change this picture of the Church living a nonconformed life in broader society.
As the CMC accommodates itself to more change and many good changes in the name of reaching out and not carrying needless, sometimes even damaging cultural baggage, the need to restate this goal of evangelical Anabaptism becomes more pressing once again.

 Historical Committee & Archives of the Mennonite Church
While the early Beachy Amish churches in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio are perhaps best characterized as Old Order-oriented folks who made adaptations in their use of technology and in their practice of discipline, during the 1950s and 1960s that orientation began to change.
For Old Order and conservative Amish, Mennonites, and Brethren their sources of authority and their general orientation to church and life rests on the accumulated wisdom of those who have gone before.
Many mainline Mennonites and Brethren, on the other hand, bemused by progresses and the ideal that the future lies ahead of us, may have a disadvantage when tending historical fires.
