There have been Mennonites of non-European descent in the United States for several generations already. Yet many people in this country still identify Anabaptism with the Germanic sub-cultures of “Mennonitism.”
More recent waves of Anabaptists are, however, searching for new ways of being the faithful church in the midst of rapid and disruptive change. They are developing dynamic and creative models of church life in new cultural situations.
Such are the testimonies recounted in this booklet—testimonies that will challenge “old” Mennonites, according to Juan Martínez, to “discover the importance of retelling our story in the 21st century” (p. 26).
