AMBS speaker offers call to look, love, serve like Jesus

ELKHART, Ind. — Greg Boyd repeatedly called listeners to “look like Jesus, love like Jesus, serve like Jesus” during his visit April 24-25 to Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary.

Boyd, a best-selling author and cofounder of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minn., was this year’s Peace and Justice Guest at AMBS. In a lecture to a filled chapel, Boyd described characteristics of the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of God. Then he outlined how to keep God’s kingdom holy, meaning distinct and separate.

Publishers adapt to a changing market

In December, megachurch pastor Bill Hybels preached a sermon introducing the peace framework from John Paul Lederach’s book The Journey Toward Reconciliation to his congregation of more than 24,000 people.

Hybels is the senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Ill.

His recommendation sparked renewed interest in Lederach’s 1999 Herald Press book, said Russ Eanes, director of MennoMedia.
