I have a lot to learn about this faith, and I appreciate both your historical education and the insights you provide to a church that, like many human organizations, suffers from opinion and faction and yet somehow is still the instrument of God's goodness and grace to a hurting world. There are many ways to think about how we are connected to God and to each other in community, and we see those ways expressed in the various Christian communities in history as well as the present—but what I hold to be true is that we all in our communities looking for ways to understand God's ways of moving in this world and in our lives. May the stresses and strains we see today be the signs of renewal to the body of believers who share the meaning of the Anabaptist faith.
