The executive directors of Mennonite Central Committee U.S. and MCC Canada sent the following letter Jan. 9.
As one relief sale sets a lofty goal to celebrate Mennonite Central Committee’s centennial in 2020, others continue a trend of reinvention to be smaller and less reliant on scores of volunteers.
