And hopefully our voice is this little gift of peace for world Christianity \u2013 and even beyond: like Joseph, who had problems with his brothers, but in the end he could help the brothers to reconcile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five MWC leaders past and present spoke at the intergenerational panel moderated by Young AnaBaptist (YABs) mentor Ebenezer Mondez during <a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/mwc-at-100-we-come-together-and-share\/\">MWC\u2019s 100-year anniversary<\/a> event in Germany on 25 May 2025, reflecting on how MWC has impacted their lives, their faith and their ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/larry-miller-reflects-22-years-helm-mennonite-world-conference\/\">Larry Miller<\/a>, MWC general secretary emeritus, served MWC during a time of transformation. During his tenure, MWC grew from only meeting occasionally in Assemblies toward living together through the ongoing work of Commissions. He witnessed Anabaptism grow from a Global North-majority to Southern-inspired movement. He also saw the movement shift from nursing the wounds of the martyrs\u2019 history to healing the wounds of church conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMennonite World Conference is one of the very best places we\u2019ve got today in the Anabaptist world to see and participate in the movements that are transforming, extending and renewing the church,\u201d Larry Miller said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transforming faith, renewing the church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/rich-and-satisfying-life\/\">Valentina Kunze<\/a> from Uruguay first got involved with MWC as a Young AnaBaptist delegate to the 2022 Global Youth Summit in Indonesia. Now the chair of YABs Committee, she affirmed MWC\u2019s transformative quality, saying: \u201cI have been humbled in seeing that my own way of seeing and doing things is not the only correct way or the right way, but there\u2019s many other ways in which to get to know Christ. And I\u2019ve been able to see the richness of how other cultures live and experience other qualities of Jesus much more emphasized than my own culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeeing people that are so different loving and worshipping the same God really impacted me in understanding that God is so much bigger and so much greater than I could have imagined,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Executive Committee member <a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/declaration-peace\/\">Amos Chin<\/a> from Myanmar agreed. \u201cWorshipping, learning, and serving alongside believers from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and North America has shown me the beautiful diversity of the church. These connections remind me that the church is bigger than any single congregation\u2026it is a worldwide body of believers. Unity in Christ does not erase our differences, but transforms them into opportunities for mutual learning and love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[Being part of MWC] has challenged my cultural assumptions and deepened my appreciation for how faith is lived out. Learning from global leaders, many from the Global South, has humbled me,\u2026.challenged my complacency and renewed my passion for discipleship,\u201d said Amos Chin, leader of Bible Missionary Church, Mennonite, in Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timo Doetsch also shared an experience of humble learning 10 years earlier in Pennsylvania, USA. During a circle time where participants washed each other\u2019s feet, \u201cSomeone came to me and \u2013 honestly, before that, I had no sympathy for this person. But exactly this person came to wash my feet. That moment was very changing and humbling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she became involved in the group crafting the Shared Convictions, former MWC vice president Rebecca Osiro from Kenya said: \u201cI started seeing things being challenged \u2013 doctrinal issues that I upheld so dearly. It opened my eyes to see that\u2026it is necessary to look at what we have in common rather than what separates us. I think it is biblical and godly to uphold that which bring us together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Room for everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/nothing-i-am-doing-am-i-doing-myself\/\">Rebecca Osiro<\/a> grew up in a social and cultural setting where women could do a lot of things in the church, but not be ordained or do theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Mennonite World Conference\u2019s Assembly in Zimbabwe in 2003, she was introduced to the circle of Anabaptist women theologians. When she became a part of the Faith &amp; Life Commission, \u201cI found myself many times to be academically inadequate, but the sharing there built me to be stronger spiritually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I was really encouraged to see that these academic giants around me didn\u2019t look at me as the academic dwarf among them, but as a sister among them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also the Catholics and Lutherans with whom she participated in trilateral dialogue on baptism, \u201cmade me feel part and parcel of this quite able body of Christ,\u201d said Rebecca Osiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With thanks for the opportunity MWC gives young people, Valentina Kunze from Uruguay affirmed the importance of being truly heard. \u201cThat\u2019s a great characteristic and I want to really encourage that to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMWC has been a place of abundant life for us, and a place for enduring friendships.\u201d said Larry Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vhCpEVvuvtw?si=U2C2N7rnq7wt85vn&amp;t=2577\">Watch the full panel discussion here.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/100\/\" rel=\"tag\">100<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/500\/\" rel=\"tag\">500<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/anabaptist-women-theologians\/\" rel=\"tag\">Anabaptist women theologians<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/general-secretary\/\" rel=\"tag\">general secretary<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/larry-miller\/\" rel=\"tag\">Larry Miller<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/leadership\/\" rel=\"tag\">leadership<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/leadership-development\/\" rel=\"tag\">leadership development<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/renewal\/\" rel=\"tag\">Renewal<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/yabs\/\" rel=\"tag\">YABs<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:100\">Updated 2026-03-30: typo corrected<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIf world Christianity would be a thousand people, then Anabaptist would only be one person,\u201d said Timo Doetsch, MWC General Council member from Germany representing Arbeitsgemeinschaft Mennonitischer Br\u00fcdergemeinden in Deutschland (AMBD). \u201cWe are just the little toe of the body of Christ\u2026 We are tiny, but we have a voice.
