The U.S. Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (USMB) will not join a project to create a study Bible celebrating the 500th anniversary of Anabaptism in 2025.
The decision was made by the USMB Leadership Board because one of the participating denominations in the project, Mennonite Church USA (MCUSA) has decided to allow its congregations to be open and welcoming of members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Participating in the project with members of MCUSA “would not be appropriate” because MCUSA recently passed an LGBTQ-affirming resolution that is “contrary to our confession of faith,” the USMB Board said.
The Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches has not yet decided about participating in the Anabaptist Bible project.
