Over the next year, regional representatives will engage church leaders regarding a more inclusive name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John D. Roth of the Institute for the Study of Global Anabaptism presented on the Global Anabaptist Project. Published in English as Global Anabaptist Profile: Belief and Practice in 24 Mennonite World Conference Churches, the report will also be translated into Spanish, French and three additional languages, and the PDF is posted at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goshen.edu\/isga\/gap\">www.goshen.edu\/isga\/gap<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ease financial planning in response to the volume of donations received in December, the executive committee will meet online in late 2017 to process the possibility of a year-end change to 31 August 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Term renewal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The general secretary\u2019s six-year term comes to an end in 2018. The executive committee unanimously requested C\u00e9sar Garc\u00eda renew for a second term. \u201cMWC wants to hire a \u2018wool-making, milk-producing, egg-laying pig that can be eaten\u2019!\u201d says MWC president J.&nbsp;Nelson Kraybill, quoting a German proverb. \u201cDespite the large assignment, C\u00e9sar works hard, has vision for MWC, and is effective in a broad range of tasks and roles. We are grateful he has accepted [another term.]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At their meetings, the Peace Commission accepted Jeremiah Choi Wing Kau (China \u2013 Hong Kong), replacing Namshik Chon (South Korea), and the YABs Committee welcomed Oscar Su\u00e1rez (Colombia) who will represent Latin America after Dominik Bergen (Paraguay) stepped down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen 70 followers of Jesus from around the world meet at a historic centre of 16th-century Anabaptism, the past and future of the church meet in life-giving ways. At Augsburg, these modern-day witnesses on the leading edge of Anabaptist mission worshiped, shared vision, debated, planned, laughed and sometimes wept,\u201d says J.&nbsp;Nelson Kraybill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cIt was a particular joy to fellowship with Catholic and Lutheran representatives who were part of the recent trilateral dialogue on baptism. To build friendship today and find shared hope in the gospel is an encouragement to all and a strength for our shared witness to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2014Mennonite World Conference release<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/executive-committee\/\" rel=\"tag\">Executive Committee<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/name-change\/\" rel=\"tag\">name change<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/renewal-2028\/\" rel=\"tag\">Renewal 2028<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/trilateral-dialogue\/\" rel=\"tag\">trilateral dialogue<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bogot\u00e1 Colombia \u2013 As Mennonite World Conference (MWC) kicked off Renewal 2027 (a 10-year event commemorating Anabaptism\u2019s birth through the Reformation), the Executive Committee welcomed a record number of new members at their meeting in Germany.
