    You’re Not Alone

    Refrain:

    You’re not alone, we are one body
    You’re not alone, we stand with you
    You’re not alone, your time of suffering is our suffering too
    And I know the day is coming when we will be rejoicing anew

    1. Many members in this body that we know
      Some are great and some are small
      Eyes and ears and hands and just a little toe
      One God who activates them all… (refrain)
    2. One body, Spirit-formed and Spirit-fed
      Different genders, rich and poor
      A banquet where the least sit at the head
      One body broken for the world… (refrain)
    3. Look close, you’ll see this body’s not a pretty sight
      Wounds and blemishes and sores
      But with the saints of every place and point in time
      We are the body of our Lord… oh Lord… (final refrain)

    Final Refrain:
    We’re not alone, we are one body
    We’re not alone, we wait for You
    We’re not alone, our time of suffering is Your suffering too
    And I know the day is coming, I know the day is coming,
    Yes I know the day is coming when we will be rejoicing anew.

  • This workshop offers an overview of New Testament perspectives on the people of God and their relationship to the “promised land” in which they live. We then consider together how these New Testament perspectives might shape our present-day responses to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Please bring your Bible!

    Presenter: Dorothy Jean Weaver is professor emerita of New Testament at Eastern Mennonite Seminary, Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA, where she taught full time from 1984-2018. Dorothy Jean Weaver is a member of Community Mennonite Church, within the Allegheny Mennonite Conference and Mennonite Church USA. Dorothy Jean is ordained by Virginia Mennonite Conference to the Special Ministry of Bible teaching.

    Indonesia 2022: workshop

  • The World Council of Churches called for a “pilgrimage” of justice and peace. Applying a transformative spirituality, local communities have been visited in every region, to celebrate the gifts of life, to touch the wounds, and to transform the injustices. Key-themes have emerged on the way: Truth and Trauma, Land and Displacement, Gender Justice, and Racism.

    Presenters: Fernando Enns, Mennonite (born in Brazil, living in Europe), representative of the Association of Mennonite Congregations in Germany at the World Council of Churches; Professor for Peace-Theology and Ethics at the Free University Amsterdam/The Netherlands and University of Hamburg/Germany. AndrŽs Pacheco Lozano, Mennonite (born in Colombia, living in the Netherlands), Secretary of the Global Mennonite Peace Network (MWC); Lecturer and Researcher at Free University Amsterdam/The Netherlands, secretary.

    Indonesia 2022: workshop

  • Indonesia 2022: workshop

  • Transmission is the title given to a series of 5 films of 10 minutes which present Anabaptist thought to people around the world to encourage a life of faith created by Affox AG, a multimedia production company. We would like to do this by providing a glimpse at the journeys we experience as disciples of Jesus in different parts of the world. It is our hope however, to strengthen our sense of shared identity and community in the midst of all the diversity present throughout the Anabaptist body. Young people represent one of the important target audiences.

    Find also a study guide for sharing questions about the film in small group or youth groups.

    Transmission 2024 Peace & Justice

    “We live in a complicated world. Erosion of trust and breakdown in relationships are all too common. The good news is that as abundant as conflict may be, so is the commitment within Anabaptist Mennonite communities around the world to follow Jesus’ call to work for justice and to make peace,” says Max Wiedmer, producer of Transmission.

    “We as producers came face-to-face with the complexities of making peace,” says Max Wiedmer. The film explores “what it means to be faithful to Jesus’ call to love our neighbours and to love our enemies.”

    Transmission 2023 Migration

    Transmission 2023 – English

    “How worldwide migration an displaced persons are being supported by loving and caring people.” This global phenomenon is the subject of 2023’s Transmission video.

    In this video, young Mennonites in Greece, Lebanon, Colombia, USA and DR Congo share about their work of welcoming displaced persons.

    Transmission 2022 Latin America

    Transmission 2022 – English

    The third production in the Transmission series focusing on creation care is ready for viewing. Ophelia, a Swiss woman, after living and working in Costa Rica, wondered what she could learn from her contemporaries in Latin America on the subject. The production includes stories from Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador and Honduras. This production ends with challenge triggered by an enterprise in the Netherlands as a way of inspiring all viewers, young and old to think and act boldly and with vision when it comes to creation care.

    Transmission 2021 Indonesia

    Transmission 2021 – English

    In Transmission, Hani and Adi share amazing faith journeys while they relate as Mennonites (a small minority) and Muslims (a large majority) in Indonesia. Hani reflects on how she sees the face of God in the people (both Muslim and Christian) she encounters in the remote village of Tempur, high in the mountains of Jepara. Adi introduces us to the power of interfaith dialogue and the resulting transformation of Solo from a city of violence to a city of peace. 

    From Indonesia we jump to the Netherlands where the relationship between Anabaptists and Muslims is impacted by a Muslim minority.  

    Canadians, Europeans, and Indonesians worked together to bring this unique production to life.

    Transmission Ethiopia 2020

    Transmission 2020 – English

    Transmission Ethiopia 2020 introduces its audiences to the Meserete Kristos Church through their experience with persecution (and freedom of religion), spiritual maturity, the place of youth in the church, the importance of music and prayer life. In this case, SalomŽ, a French young adult reflects (after her return to France from her visit to Ethiopia), on what she learned from her peers and elders in the church. 

    We hope to gain a young generation of people who will be involved in making the next in the series and the final 90-minute documentary which we hope to expand to a secular audience in 2025. For the moment, we are targeting the Christian world.

  • Indonesia 2022: workshop

    Humanity is facing cataclysmic impacts of the climate crisis and enormous effects of the loss of natural ecosystems and biodiversity. What is our calling as partners in the care of God’s good creation? The missional role of the Church in actively restoring a harmonious and future-looking interaction with our environment is absolutely essential. This workshop will highlight the courageous voices of Anabaptist Mennonite communities impacted by environmental challenges and explore possibilities for bold leadership towards a vision rooted in justice and sustainability. The workshop will provide a space for listening and dialoguing together on this crucial peace and justice issue.

    Presenters: Wendy Kroeker (from Fort Garry Mennonite Fellowship, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; GAPN chair), Andres Pacheco-Lozano (from Teusaquillo Mennonite Church, Bogota, Colombia; GAPN acting coordinator).
    This workshop is sponsored by the Global Anabaptist Peace Network (GAPN) and the Mennonite World Conference Peace Commission (PC).
