This course explores redemption and reconciliation as the heart of Anabaptist-Mennonite response to God’s call to mission. Students will study the Biblical foundations of mission as the invitation to God’s shalom revealed in the mission of Jesus Christ and the formation of the church through the power of the Holy Spirit. The course probes the Anabaptist story of a people called into mission and peacemaking, as well as detractions from that calling. Special focus is on contemporary challenges and examples of mission and peace.

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.
