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.
Presenter: Larry Miller
Part 1 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?

Creation Care and MWC Responding as a Global Church 
-
Humanity’s impact on the environment demonstrates the need for a change of direction. Yet so often steps toward “creation care” seem overwhelmingly large or too small to make a difference. This workshop will examine ways followers of Jesus as individuals and organizations can live into a more sustainable future.
Presenter: Tim Wiebe-Neufeld is Executive Minister of Mennonite Church Alberta and chairs Mennonite Church Canada’s Sustainability Leadership Group. His interest in “creation care” spans decades, from exploring environmental theology in his Master of Theological Studies thesis in the early 1990s to completing a Master of Environment and Business degree in 2020.
Notes:
- The first minutes of the workshop are not recorded. Here is the missing script:
“To begin my workshop I would like to share a little bit of my own journey with Creation Care. I have two distinct childhood experiences that deeply impacted my sense of the natural world around me: and those were mountains and steel mills. I always loved trips to the west coast of Canada, where the mountains were so beautiful and awe-inspiring. It was quite the contrast from where I grew up, near the industrial sector of Hamilton. There the landscape was dominated by smokestacks.”
- The Centre for Sustainable Climate Solutions has been renamed the Anabaptist Collaboration on Climate Change
