MB Convictions – Engaging in the World – Workshop
If being a Christian is about personally confessing Jesus as Lord, what does it mean to be a community of disciples engaging the mission of the church in the world? Why are Mennonite Brethren so specific about what it means to live as disciples? This workshop will focus on the key missional elements of discipleship as articulated in the Mennonite Brethren Confession of Faith,* drawing upon the principle of letting biblical conceptual language shape the theological reflection of the believing community in discerning ethical and missional outcomes.
*Based on a study of articles 7, 10-17.
