A webinar on MWC’s mission and vision
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 talk: Mennonite World Conference invites our members to an online conversation 11 November 2026.
This 75-minute webinar is an opportunity to hear how MWC leaders are building communion amid divisive viewpoints. Registrants may submit questions in advance for a question-and-answer period.
In September 2026, one of the links of fellowship broke when Meserete Kristos Church in Ethiopia voted to end their MWC membership. This may leave other members with questions. What does this mean for the koinonia?
“Though we are called to make every effort to preserve the unity of the Spirit with the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3), sometimes we walk away from one another. As a global communion, we need to explore together how we can continue to live out unity amid polarization and division,” says Janet Plenert, director of Communion Building.
“Jesus prayed that his disciples ‘may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you… so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them’ (John 17:21). For the sake of God’s mission in the world, unity is our calling,” says César García, general secretary.
“This is a critical time for MWC churches to discuss our calling to unity means for us. We welcome you to join us as we struggle together with challenging issues,” he says.
