         Re:     Rule 24f-2 Notice

Gentlemen:

                 As counsel for MMA Praxis Mutual Funds (the "Trust"), a
Delaware business trust consisting of two separate series of shares, MMA Praxis
Intermediate Income Fund and MMA Praxis Growth Fund, during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995, we are familiar with the Trust's registration under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 and with the registration statement relating
to its shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares") under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Registration Statement").  We have also examined such other records,
agreements, documents and instruments as we have deemed appropriate.

                 Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion with respect to
the Shares the registration of which is being made definite by the Notice
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Notice")
being filed by the Trust for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, assuming
such Shares were sold at the public offering price and delivered by the Trust
against receipt of the net asset value of the Shares in compliance with the
terms of the Registration Statement and the requirements of applicable law,
that such Shares were, when sold, duly and validly authorized, legally and
validly issued, and fully paid and non-assessable.

                 We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection with
the Notice on Form 24F-2 to be filed by the Trust with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the Trust's fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.


                                            Very truly yours,



                                            Dechert Price & Rhoads
