Thank you to everyone who attended this year's conference! Check back on this page as we start planning the 2021 conference.
2020 Conference Highlights What are the stories we’re telling in this time of upheaval, fear and polarization? Whose voices are being lifted up? You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!” —Isaiah 40:9 (NIV) |

THURSDAY AFTERNOON KEYNOTE: Osheta Moore
We will tell better stories
Social media has been invaluable in rallying White peacemakers to care about racial injustices in our country; however, that medium has the potential to be hostile. It’s easy to forget there are people behind the posts and to truly know how to take our online conversations about race and justice into our real lives. Can we be peacemakers for the racial divide today? We can, as long as we commit to becoming better storytellers.
FRIDAY MORNING KEYNOTE: Danielle Klotz and Paul Schrag
The courageous work of becoming Anabaptist World
September 1, 2020, launched a new era of Anabaptist independent journalism with the merger of Mennonite World Review and The Mennonite. Three months in, the process of merging continues, and the work of serving an audience with a broad spectrum of theological beliefs presents both ongoing challenges and opportunities. Together Klotz and Schrag will share about the journey of becoming Anabaptist World and speaking courageously as a faith-based platform.
