Ethiopian church leader shares concern for Ukraine, requests help from North America
Mennonite Church Eastern Canada, an area church of Mennonite Church Canada, will welcome diverse congregations from Ontario and Quebec into membership during its annual meeting April 29-30 at Redeemer University in Ancaster, Ont.
Dozens of people — including U.S. and Canadian Mennonite conference leaders, seminary staff and students — signed a letter of support for Anabaptists in Ethiopia in December.
As violence continues in some parts of northern Ethiopia, a delegation from Meserete Kristos Church was able to visit some congregations last month in the state of Tigray.
The Meserete Kristos Church in Ethiopia learned in mid-December how members of the Anabaptist conference in the country’s northern region were faring amid regional civil war. Most are safe, but one young minister was killed while preaching.
While serving in South Africa with Mennonite Mission Network, theologian Joe Sawatzky often learned as much about God from his cross-cultural engagements as he did from textbooks.
