Harrisburg, PA, USA \u2013 \u201cMennonite World Conference Assemblies come with many parts. Two of them are Assembly Gathered and Assembly Scattered,\u201d explains Liesa Unger, Chief International Events Officer for MWC. Unger, of Regensburg, Germany, is overseeing the planning of \u201cPennsylvania 2015,\u201d the next MWC Assembly to be held in July 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssembly Gathered will happen at one place \u2013 Harrisburg, PA \u2013 during one week, 21-26 July 2015. Assembly Scattered will take place at multiple sites, with some events before Assembly Gathered and some following.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assembly Scattered first occurred as part of the MWC Assembly in Calcutta in January 1997. Because few Mennonites live in Calcutta, MWC leaders worked with churches throughout India, and in other countries in Asia, to host travelers on their way to or from Calcutta. Visitors experienced church life in communities across the region, and locals who weren\u2019t able to attend the Calcutta Assembly fellowshipped in their home communities with sisters and brothers from other parts of the world who were traveling to or from the Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the Assembly Scattered sites for PA 2015 also include visits to nearby historical or cultural landmarks. Hosts will introduce their guests to places and activities they\u2019ve read about. But this is more than tourism. By experiencing each other\u2019s settings, we learn to know each other better,\u201d reflects Unger.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve enlarged the Assembly experience for everyone\u2019s benefit by offering both Assembly Gathered<\/em> and Assembly Scattered<\/em>,\u201d explains Unger. \u201cIf you\u2019re making the trip to North America, why not visit Mennonite communities that are close to or within southeastern Pennsylvania, or choose some that lie beyond? And if you live in Canada or the U.S. but can\u2019t get to Harrisburg, why not experience the global faith family by welcoming members into your home and congregation?\u201d<\/p>\n

Assembly Scattered will take place in more than 10 communities during July 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis opportunity for fellowship flows both ways,\u201d says Unger. \u201cVisitors learn about day-to-day life in the U.S. and Canada, while also worshipping in Anabaptist-related congregations. And locals are enriched by opening their homes and churches to \u2018family\u2019 they would otherwise not have known. This is how lifelong relationships become real.\u201d<\/p>\n

Details about Assembly Scattered are available on the registration form for PA 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n
