The Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition has undergone a profound transformation during the past 50 years moving from a largely white, Euro-American denomination into a truly multi-cultural, global church. Drawing on the research projects of the Institute for the Study of Global Anabaptism and a wide range of primary and secondary sources, this class will explore the history, faith and practices of groups in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition, with a strong emphasis on the global church. How did this process of globalization come about? What are the challenges of identity, unity, and growth in a global church? What is the future of this tradition?
