In 2015, when a resolution called “Seeking Peace in Israel and Palestine” was proposed at the Mennonite Church USA convention, many of my Latino and Latina brothers and sisters went to the microphone to express their support for Israel. I was not surprised.
My experience of growing up Menonita (Mennonite) was different than that of the typical Mennonite in the north.
Since I am now fully vaccinated, I have returned to riding the bus downtown to the Minneapolis hospital where I work. As a white person, I am in the minority on this bus ride. This leads me to reflect on life in Minneapolis for people of color.
