General Council presentation on Communion and Leadership

Part 1: MWC & Communion

Mennonite World Conference is called to be a communion (Koinonia) of Anabaptist-related churches linked to one another in a worldwide community of faith for fellowship, worship, service, and witness.

Let’s keep in mind that, according to Paul, God’s unity plan is immeasurably bigger than the plan we might have in mind.

Part 2: Leadership & Communion

“Leadership that Facilitates Unity” or “Leadership that Builds Communion”

  • What characteristics are important for leaders of national churches in order to build communion?
  • What are leadership weaknesses that effect negatively meetings and even relationships among church leaders?

In short, the question is what kind of leaders do we need in order to have healthy meetings and especially, beyond meetings, healthy global communion?
