The 150th anniversary of the Mennonite Brethren provides an opportunity to reflect critically about the journey they have travelled as well as the path they are on now. Since their beginning on January 6, 1860, the recurring themes of identity and mission emerge in their attempts to articulate the centre that holds Mennonite Brethren together. As Mennonite Brethren look to the future, there is the recognition of the continuing need for God"s renewal. This collection of papers facilitates reflection and prompts further conversation about the issues facing Mennonite Brethren as they seek to be the people of God and take part in God"s mission in the world.
