Faith shines amid Central America’s violence, poverty

Churches in Honduras and Guatemala are growing and thriving even in challenging contexts of violence and poverty, Eastern Mennonite Missions leaders observed Sept. 20-27.

At Project MAMA, a community development and education program in Honduras, one of the workers had been attacked by several gang members.

Yet as the worker interacted with EMM leaders, she began crying and lamenting that these gang members are now suffering in prison.

30 minutes, three faith traditions

CBS television affiliates across the U.S. will explain a bit about Mennonites later this month.

CBS Religion and Culture visited the Mennonite Heritage Center in Harleysville, Pa., Nov. 3 to film interviews for one third of a half-hour “World Religions” interfaith special.

The annual program, which will begin airing in some markets Dec. 14, asks three faiths to share their beliefs, traditions, histories and modern voice. This year’s “explainer” show will feature Mennonites, Sikhs and Seventh-day Adventists.

‘Come let us all unite to sing’ all night long

GOSHEN, Ind. — Bobby Switz­er did not grow up going to church or singing, but he has become passionate about hymns and congregational music since coming to Goshen College four years ago.

When he started the Goshen College Hymn Club in 2012, little did he know that he would end up singing through every verse of all 658 hymns in Hymnal: A Worship Book, in a 30-hour marathon of song.
