Abstract
In this article, the author explores the writings in the Messenger of Truth that provide insight into the lived religion of the Holdeman people, looking beyond formal congregations and policies to work, family, and the challenges of living in the world. The author uses the Messenger of Truth newsletter as “conversational space,” to employ Nancy Ammerman’s typology related to a “religion of the everyday.” Here biblical messages, church policies, and the daily dimensions of life are discussed and debated in order for the Holdeman people to understand the reality of religion in their lives.
