Prior to the creation of this blog, I wrote a number of stories about LGBTQ+ inclusion and the Canadian Mennonite Brethren Conference (CCMBC) for Anabaptist World the U.S.
Why for that publication? Because the MB Herald Digest, the official publication of the CCMBC, won’t carry stories about the subject of LGBTQ+ in the church—Anabaptist World, which I write for out of Canada, is the only one that will publish stories about it.
Here are those stories.
About the creation of A Time to Listen, the effort of some Canadian
MBs to informally create a space to talk about LGBTQ+ welcome and affirmation
in that denomination. (Created after the CCMBC declined to create that conversation
space.)
