Noel Santago, LEADership Minister with Franconia Conference and Mennonite Education Agency (MEA) Board member, along with the rest of the MEA board, recently were presented with and seized an opportunity for building intercultural competency. At the fall MEA board meeting, Executive Director, Carlos Romero, shared his experience with a hate-filled racial call he received from a graduate of several Mennonite educational institutions. Read more about how the board responded to Romero and the call in The Mennonite’s article, “Mennonite Education Agency board responds to hate call.”
The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
