Mennonites Gather

WaveOrange.jpgThe Mennonite Church USA held its annual convention recently (June 30 – July 5) in Columbus Ohio. What did they discuss? Here's just a smattering of the many seminar titles:

“Unashamedly Evangelical and Unapologetically Justice Centered”
“What happens when Lutherans Apologize to Mennonites?”
“The Historical Jesus and the Holy Spirit”
“Pro-life, Pro-peace: Practicing a Consistent Ethic of Life"
“Peace building in Palestine-Israel”

The gathering also passed resolutions on human trafficking and national healthcare. For details, go to http://www.mennoniteusa.org/Home/Convention/tabid/258/Default.aspx.
