I was moved by the articles on the sacredness of food (July 8). They made me remember a poem I wrote, as I consider how our physical and spiritual needs are met through the sacrificial gift of food.

Doug Mastriano’s campaign to become Pennsylvania’s governor has concerned me ever since I first read about him and saw his right-wing, Christian-nationalist ads.
I am sure Herald Press thought long and hard about no longer selling John Howard Yoder’s books (June 17), but it leaves me with a dilemma.
I am glad Mennonite Church USA will now take concrete steps to include LGBTQ people in the creation of resources, documents and policies that affect them.
In response to Dan Leatherman’s letter (July 8), I am grateful Mennonite Church USA delegates not only repealed the Membership Guidelines but also supported the “Repentance and Transformation” resolution.
If a congregation, school or conference drops “Mennonite” from their name, they no longer have to explain who they are not (“So you’re Mennonite, huh?,” May 6). “Anabaptist” is a sensible name.
I’m grateful for the Salt & Light Bible study series (“Freedom to be distinctively Anabaptist,” May 27) developed by a team of Mennonite and United Methodist Bible scholars and educators.
I appreciated Jacob Lupfer’s article on Harry Emerson Fosdick’s 1922 sermon, “Shall the fundamentalists win?” (“100 years on, Fosdick’s question still echoes,” June 17).
Doug Mastriano deserves no publicity in a Mennonite publication (“Pa. governor nominee linked to CMC church, right-wing politics,” June 17).
I would have preferred simply retiring the guidelines at the Mennonite Church USA special assembly (“Membership Guidelines repealed; LGBTQ-affirming resolution approved,” June 17).
