Resilience in the face of loss

​As a part of the AMBS Pastors & Leaders Deep Faith 2022 seminar, Sharon Norton and Linda Shelly coordinated a workshop with an international panel of global partners sharing their stories of faith and resilience in the face of personal loss and community suffering during the pandemic. Panelists included Karen Sethuraman of SoulSpace in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mziwandile Nkutha of the Anabaptist Network in South Africa and Ofelia García of the Movement of Anabaptist Women Doing Theology from Latin America (MTAL) and pastor in Mexico. Participants were encouraged to consider—What can we learn from global Anabaptist leaders that will help us in our journeys in the U.S.? What encouragement do you have to offer global leaders out of your own experience? What has sparked your curiosity and creativity as a result of this workshop?
