The Anabaptist Learning Institute (ALI), a program of the Mennonite Schools Council (MSC), is designed to provide an intentional Christ-centered orientation and professional education program for teachers, pastors and other leaders. ALI seeks to unify the Anabaptist community under a common set of educational experiences that encourage dialog about faith and values.
Understanding the Roots of Community* is a three hour graduate course that explores the theology and history of the Anabaptist movement, inviting students to articulate the significance of this movement for themselves. Some guiding questions are:
-
Who are the Anabaptists?
Where do they come from?
What is the story?
What do Anabaptists believe?
How do I fit into or respond to this story?
This course will be offered June 15-19, 2009 at two locations:
-
Dr. Alan Kreider will teach this class on the campus of Christopher Dock Mennonite High School. Understanding the Roots of Community will meet Monday through Friday, 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 4-5 p.m. and Saturday, 8:30-11:30 a.m.
