Building Mennonite Belonging

Full Title: Building Mennonite Belonging, Toward an Intercultural Church

Building Mennonite Belonging explores the interplay between ethnicity, culture, race, and faith in Canada and other multicultural societies. Using three Mennonite theologies – messianic community, missional church, and shalom church – Kim Sun navigates the intersection of identity and belief to broaden the vision of Mennonite peoplehood. These theologies show that Mennonites aspire to engage with the world, dialogue with those from diverse backgrounds, seek peace, and strive for reconciliation. The materials to build an intercultural church can be found within existing Mennonite teachings and traditions. Though centered on Mennonites, Kim Sun’s insights resonate with any faith community grappling with ethnocultural and racial diversity.
