The June 16 issue, with its focus on unity, was enlightening and inspiring. I particularly enjoyed the articles by Harvey Yoder and S. Roy Kaufman. I, too, have observed with frustration how we Mennonites through the years let the issue of ­homosexuality carry such fervor while ignoring far greater issues affecting the Christian journey of all of us. Resolving these issues in our congregations and families has often succeeded with focusing on Jesus while following our hearts with love, but, unfortunately, some congregations and conferences don’t experience that. Thanks for such relevant articles by respected Mennonite leaders.
