MADRID, Spain — The Spanish government’s Ministry of Justice has endorsed a book co-written by a Mennonite that presents a model of positive Christian-Muslim relations.
Then, in 1992, reports of Yoder’s sexual harassment and abuse of women appeared in Mennonite publications and the secular media.
But the story was far from complete. As the years passed and Yoder’s theology attracted a new generation of readers, church leaders heard calls for a full accounting of the facts — including recognition of institutional failures to deal decisively with the problem.
