4.9/5 (24537 ratings)

Description:Assembly Mennonite A Collective History is the story of a congregation that began 40 years ago on the heels of the tumultuous 1960s. At its start, the young congregation was made up of house churches and small groups who decided to “assemble” for worship and discernment on Sundays. The majority of the congregation were under 30, and many were students or faculty at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana. The book is a collection of essays by 12 authors, all of whom are or have been members of Assembly Mennonite Church, some since its founding. Writers offer different perspectives on the early vision of the first members and reflect on how that vision became reality. Some describe how that vision has evolved over the years. The “Life and Practices” section includes topical essays on worship, dance, nurture of children, ways the community plays together, the journey toward inclusion of LGBT people, discernment, and leadership. The writers not only tell the history of the congregation in these areas but also reflect on how the past influences--or is losing its influence-- on the present. This book will be of particular interest to the estimated 1,500 people who have been part of the Assembly congregation at one time or another during the past four decades.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
