News | Covid Regulations | Free Belize

-
  Beginning tomorrow at midnight, new and stringent regulations will take effect in Belize due to the rising number of Covid cases and deaths. The nighttime curfew has been moved down to 7PM. Restaurants will only be open for takeout food. Certain sports are forbidden due to physical contact. Some public buildings deemed inessential will close down. On Sundays, the streets are expected to be empty except for emergencies. And the one that has caused controversy: churches have been ordered to close down.
  The US military has donated a field hospital with equipment to assist with the Covid situation. Several countries and international travel agencies have posted red-level flags on Belize, warning their citizens about visiting here and restricting entry to those traveling from here.
  The "Free Belize" movement protesting the mandatory vaccine which was started last week by a group of modern Mennonites who have left the traditional churches has caused consternation among the more conservative Kleine Gemeinde and Old Colony Mennonites since it does NOT represent them as a whole. The individuals participating in the parade/protest are mainly millennials from evangelical and charismatic groups who have left the foundational doctrines of Anabaptism and now believe in the union of church and state.
  Ironically, the black flag with white letters adopted by the "Free Belize" movement is eerily similar to the flags used by Islamic militant groups and other anarchists. The Taliban, Al Qaeda and more specifically the ISIS fanatics. See below.

 I am currently working on an article explaining the various responses of each Mennonite group to the mandatory vaccine and to the "Free Belize" rally. It is a rather long article...just saying.


Update: here is the article

Mennonite Foods

         The Old Colony, Kleine Gemeinde, and Old Order have a diet which mainly consists of homemade bread, cottage cheese, noodles, pork, potatoes, and stewed beans. Milk is used in many of their meals, such as casseroles and faspa foods. Some dishes from the Plautdietsch groups are:   nuddelsuppe:  noodle soup made with home-made noodles    werenaki:  (perogies see picture above ) made of pockets of flour with  glums  (cottage cheese) filling,  schmaunfat  (white gravy made of flour, milk and black pepper), and  formavorscht  (pork sausage). The perogies are then boiled and served. I recommend it to anyone who wants to try out Plautdietsch foods although I prefer the fried ones.  Cheesy or creamy casseroles: often it will contain meat and cream with potatoes or macaroni   borscht:  a vegetable soup with bits of meat sometimes added to it    Clops: patties from either ground m...

Mennonites and Music

-
   Music, the comfort of the soul, the way of sin to some, a sign of true worship to others.   Within the Mennonite family in Belize music to some degree is used or listened to, with each branch viewing it based on their understanding of the Bible.                          The Kleine Gemeinde   Used to consider any musical instrument as wrong. But after acapella recorded music was approved, it introduced a need for tape recorders, then slowly over the years other instruments were approved. Church singing is still acapella, and radio and TV are still not accepted. However, instruments such as violins (which is often played by KG youth girls) and guitars are used during youth singing, community concerts, and personal entertainment or family singing. The organ is also used sometimes in such events.       The Beachy and Conservative Mennonites     Also sing acapella style dur...
