German Mennonite conference offers hope
by Mennonite World ConferencePrint Article Email to a Friend
KARLSRUHE, Germany—Hope and a future, words of promise from Jeremiah 29:11, stood at the center of a Mennonite gathering here May 17-20. More than 400 Mennonites came together for the Germany-wide conference held every three or four years.
The conference brought together Mennonites from the 55 churches that make up the Associated Mennonite Churches in Germany.
Each morning speakers focused on biblical texts that both challenge resignation and encourage hopeful awareness of where God is at work in the world. Digging into texts from both the Old and New Testaments, they spoke of hope and renewal, themes that also shaped the afternoon workshops.
