As a Christian in the United States, it’s hard to miss the blending of cross and flag. Bible verses are being quoted at political rallies and social media, not to call people to repentance or compassion, but to stir allegiance to a cause and country. But the Psalms tell a different story.
Alisha and Josh Garber
Alisha and Josh Garber are preparing to begin a new chapter of mission in Glasgow, Scotland, through Communitas International. After about a decade of service in Lithuania and Spain, the Garbers are emerging from a season of desert wandering and discernment in Phoenix, where they have been active in youth work, pastoral ministry, and digital storytelling. They attend Trinity Mennonite Church in Glendale, Arizona, with their son Asher. Follow their journey: worthwhileadventures.org
In many places, the next chapter is being written by people who, as my friend Hal liked to say, entered Anabaptism the old-fashioned way: by choice as adults – those bearing it as a conviction and who didn’t inherit the tradition.
