Interesting post. Love the crazy places that "research" can take you!

A someone who knows both Pete (mustardseed order) and Tom (mustardseed associates) I can tell you with confidence and authority that neither has any relation to the other. Sorry, no conspiracy here folks.

Also, you neglected to mention that the contemporary mustard seed order is based more on the three commitments of Zinzendorf's original vow than on any supposed connection to dodgy history. The three vows are based on the great commandment and the great commission: 1.) Life for Christ (ie. Love the LORD), 2.) Kind to others (ie. love others as yourself), and 3.) Gospel of Christ to the nations (ie. therefore go ...). If it's those three things that Greig is calling people to, ring or no ring, I'm in!!

Sorry to burst your bubble ... no secret plans here folks.

In Christ ...
