New from Mennonite Church Canada 
Walking Together: Intercultural Stories of Love and Acceptance by Edith and Neill von Gunten. Covering almost fifty years of peace and reconciliation work--from the Black-led civil rights struggles of the 1960s to decades-old relationships with Indigenous peoples on both sides of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba--these stories draw similarities between familiar biblical concepts and Anishinaabe seven “A Way of Life Teachings.”   

  • Includes a study guide 
  • Book launch will be held in person and by livestream on Thursday, September 29, 7 p.m. (CDT). 
  • Buy or borrow the book - https://www.commonword.ca/go/2987
