They must live in community. Yet each also craves independence and autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dutch Mennonite pastor and retreat centre host Wieteke van der Molen told Mennonite World Conference assembly attendees 24 July 2015 that since the interests of the group will always collide with those of the individual, each person must wrestle with friction and frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Molen said the patriarch Jacob thought of no one but himself until he lost his community, had only autonomy. Until someone came along and struggled with him all night (Genesis 32).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite living by his own rules, Jacob wasn\u2019t judged by God, but God remained present, just as he is present with us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGod merely walks with you, no matter the outcome,\u201d van der Molen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She challenged her audience to make choices according to one\u2019s own desires while acknowledging the surrounding community\u2019s desires, hurts and frustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is about taking responsibility for your actions,\u201d she said. \u201cFor those of the community, for yourself, and, if necessary, making amends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo keep some sense of autonomy within community is like constantly wrestling with man and God and, most of all, yourself,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd even if you win, it leaves you slightly limping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Audience awakens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evening offering highlighted Nohemy Ruth Garc\u00eda of Spain. She presented \u201c<em>Despertar<\/em>\u201d (Awakening), a song she wrote to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 2004 Madrid terrorist bombing, which killed 191 people and injured 1,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn our churches, in our homes and in our communities; it\u2019s a time for peace,\u201d she said. \u201cThis song is a wakeup call. . . . Let\u2019s take action and really work for peace for what God wants to bring into his kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As she sang, the first to wake up were half dozen glowing cellphones waved in time by people sitting in a high corner of the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, the <em>despertar<\/em> enveloped the space with thousands of lights joining one voice shining into the darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emotion evident on her face, Garc\u00eda finished the song with a message that needed no further translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The service concluded with Communion, including a gluten-free bread option and grape juice served in compostable cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tim Huber is associate editor for <\/em>Mennonite World Review. <em>He is part of the Meetinghouse team of editors reporting on the plenary sessions at Assembly 16.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assembly called to wrestle with independence and community By Tim Huber HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, USA \u2013 Each person is never alone.
