History & Biography
“While Mennonites--one of the historic peace churches--have wrestled with processing painful collective memories, they are on a journey of pursuing peace with justice as they engage those suffering around them. From Suffering to Solidarity traces many steps and stories of peacemaking in this tradition. The interdisciplinary collection of articles is written by a diverse group of North American Mennonite scholars, reflecting experiences and strategies from different contexts globally. Practitioners, laity, students and specialists in peace-theology and -ethics will find inspiring gems of just peacemaking efforts throughout this collection. The repeated hearkening back to historic origins and development provides a critical resource, not only for Mennonite self-reflection and identity formation today. It is a most welcome contribution to the ongoing ecumenical 'Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace' of the World Council of Churches, a gift from the tradition of peace churches.'”
The Church Made Strange for the Nations
Theology
“'Let the Church be the Church!' In early ecumenical debates, this was a guiding principle. Churches tried to define a new, critical role in society, after having failed to speak up for victims of violence and injustice. Descendents of the Radical Reformation--represented in this volume--confront us with that challenge anew. In dialogue with philosophy, history, sociology, and even the arts, a political theology for an exilic church (or exile-church) is inspired. This holds the potential to make a real difference--and renew the church's self-understanding.”
The Life of Peace Apostle Harcourt Klinefelter
History & Biography
“Nonviolence liberates, if you work with others! The convincing proof of this reality is found in real life of real communities in real conflicts. And it is best witnessed in biographies of individuals, whose faith provided the calling, the courage, and the spiritual resources to walk such a way of life. Rev. Harcourt Klinefelter is a most telling and encouraging example.”
