The event in brief:
o A 24-hour conference beginning Friday evening and concluding Saturday afternoon
o Sessions will include inspiring worship and thought-provoking presentations
o Planned and primarily resourced by emerging scholars and church leaders
o Jointly sponsored by the Anabaptist Missional Project and the John Coffman Center of Eastern Mennonite Seminary
Anabaptism at its best has been a series of attempts both to live into God's in-breaking occupation and to faithfully occupy the empires of this fallen age, signaling the shalom to come. Anabaptists have gone about this work by imaginatively patterning their worship and witness after the New Testament communities of Jesus.
Come explore ways in which the Anabaptist tradition can help inspire faithful occupation in today's world. Interdisciplinary academic presentations will be infused with worship and testimonies to open our minds and spirits to where God is calling us into mission in the midst of empire.
