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.

Indentured servants embraced Mennonite faith

NORTH NEWTON, Kan. — If not for great-great-grandparents who became indentured servants of Amish Mennonites in the early 19th century, Stan Bohn would probably not be a Mennonite today.

Bohn, a retired pastor, said he is one of a number of Mennonites who are discovering they have non-Mennonite branches in their family tree that were “grafted” into Anabaptism when indentured servitude was common in colonial America.
