Making a Difference for Creation: Stories for your Great Great Great Great Great Grandchildren  

Due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, we cannot all gather together for our typical Make a Difference Day event. However, we are still committed to finding ways to connect with others, learn, pray and make a difference.

This ‘retreat’ can be done individually by jr. youth or with their families, or with a youth group. All the content can be downloaded or printed so it can be done entirely outside. If you choose to do these outdoor activities with others, they are designed to ensure physical distancing can occur. The full ‘retreat’ will take approximately 2 to 3 hours.

Treaty as Sacred Covenant header

The MCEC Truth and Reconciliation Working Group has launched a year-long online story-telling series centred on covenants made, broken and renewed. Mennonites might be familiar with biblical covenants between God and people – but what about more recent covenants between peoples here on this land that Settlers named Canada?

MCEC Apologizes for Misinterpretation and Misapplication in Recent Misconduct Process

In June 2020 MCEC leadership publicly announced the termination of the ministerial credential for a minister who was found to have committed ministerial misconduct. MCEC leadership received multiple letters expressing concern about the process and the delay involved in beginning an investigation. MCEC Executive Council asked three external reviewers to independently review the process.

The Review independently and unanimously concluded that MCEC staff unnecessarily delayed the commencement of the investigation by requiring a signed first-hand complaint to initiate the process. MCEC leadership sincerely regrets and apologizes for this misinterpretation and misapplication of the MSMPP and the consequent delay. We sincerely wish we had acted sooner. We deeply regret the harm the significant delay caused.
