Issues make polity book a must-read

Mennonite Church USA’s new ministerial polity handbook has drawn more attention than such a document usually would, due to its potential impact on issues of sexuality and credentialing authority.

Since the book was finished this spring, leaders have been considering whether to ask the delegate assembly to approve it next summer in Kansas City.

Pastor’s call brings Ohio church ‘sense of peace’

Members of Columbus (Ohio) Mennonite Church laid their hands on Mark Rupp Sept. 21 as they installed him as pastor of Christian formation.

“It hit me during that moment that rather than lots of individual hands on me, it really felt like a blanket of support, and that was really, really meaningful,” Rupp said in an Oct. 15 interview.

On top of the World

On July 28, Erik Kratz was scratched from the lineup of the Buffalo Bisons AAA minor-league baseball team. The Toronto Blue Jays had just traded the Souderton (Pa.) Mennonite Church member to the Kansas City Royals.

Three months later, Kratz is in the World Series.

“I wish I could put it into words,” he said by phone Oct. 17 while feeding his son oatmeal on a day off. “I think it is something that any kid that’s played baseball and followed a team — wherever it is you grew up — you’ve dreamt, you’ve pretended in the backyard to be . . .

Radical writing

Jason Storbakken’s journey to the faith of his Anabaptist ancestors took him not so much to church on Sunday mornings but on a global tour of faiths, classes and cultures.

The destination he reached — a revolution of simplicity and repentance for collusion with worldly powers — is outlined in his new book, Radical Spirituality: Repentance, Resistance, Revolution (Orbis).

Storbakken is cofounder with his wife, Vonetta, of the Radical Living Christian community in Brooklyn, N.Y., and chapel director of The Bowery Mission, which serves homeless people. He is ordained through Mennonite Church USA’s Atlantic Coast Conference, where the Radical Living intentional community is a member.
