Messenger magazine

January/February 2012

This month in MESSENGER:
Waging peace by reaching across the aisles; Grassroots peacebuilding in the Congo; Bethany Seminary: both seedbed and threshing floor

On the cover:
Brethren from around the denomination participated in stitching together nine quilts last year, one of which is shown on the cover. Volunteers quilted them in time for Annual Conference in Grand Rapids, Mich., last year, where they were put on display. This quilt was stitched together by Carol Bowman and later quilted by Marian Gillin, both of the Sunnyslope Church of the Brethren in Wenatchee, Wash. The quilts are being distributed to each of the international Brethren bodies as reminders of the love that binds us together, despite our differences. Cover photo by Ben Green.

Coming in March 2012:
Reconciliation in urban settings, being a conscientious objector today, Bible study, media review, reflections, letters, and more.
