Harcourd Klinefelter, a minister, recalls the "fantastic group of people" around in his organization and church. "Without the very great commitment and effort of many persons, who were often just so inspiring but who never appeared in the media, the Movement would never have come as far as it did." Harky Klinefelter, who later moved to the Netherlands continued to work as an activist and trainer for and in many conflicts.

@Paulatics I would love to hear more about your Jewish and Mennonite intersections.

I'm a convert to Judaism, but previously served as a minister in a progressive church, and still maintain close ties with that church (I recently became an associate member!)

I see a lot of points of connection between these two tradition, particularly as it relates to the experience of diaspora.

The wiki about the Makhnovshchina is pretty fascinating. Mentions Donbas, Kherson, Counteroffensives, extra-governmental armies... so many echoes.

I know I’m about 37 years behind, but I’m just now reading John Piper’s “Desiring God.” I’m now looking for a good response. Can anyone recommend a thoughtful counterpoint or rebuttal?

Glad that we are helping Ukraine so strongly. I would like to visit my grandparents birthplace in southern Zaporizhia (south of Tokmak) one day, and not under Russian occupation. Hopefully their ancestral Mennonite villages are liberated this summer.

Singing Mennonite Hymnal #447 in church surprised me

Lust of posession worketh desolation;
There is no meekness in the sons of earth;
Led by no star, the rulers of the nations
Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth.
The kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done.

How shall we love Thee, holy, hidden Being,
If we love not the world which Thou hast made?
O give us brother love for better seeing
Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid:
Thy kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done.

This fundraiser is for an old friend who is going through the process of gender transition. I've known her for many years (back from my days as a progressive minister) and vouch for the reality of the financial need. Please consider giving as even a few bucks can make a big difference.

The movie is playing everywhere around here, mainly because this is a huge community. The film is indie, but man, so many show times and so many theaters.

I’ve seen 9 of 10 nominees for Best Picture. At this point, my favorite is definitely . Thoughtful. Beautiful. Painful. Hopeful. And also touches my roots. Knowing some of the history and how closed communities can cause harm.

@wdlindsy If you research Mennonite/ AMish roots, I offer a lot of free self-help. Mennonite/Amish, Holocaust/Shoah, Eastern German Diaspora are all areas I specialize in researching. There are tons of free self-help for those on ManyRoads. Enjoy.

May we see guns
beaten into plowshares.

May we learn violence no more
but practice peacemaking.

May we learn hatred no more
but be transformed by Love.

Come, Lord Jesus,
hear our prayer.
