MCUSA - audacious or just nervous? 

Over on Franconia Mennonite Conference's website, my old friend Steve Kriss has just posted his thoughts about San Jose 2007 and the future of the Mennonite Church in the US. He comes across as a lot less positive than I felt about things, but I'd say he makes a good case for it. His chief worries are (1) US Mennonites are, on the whole, aging; (2) MCUSA isn't doing enough to tap into the diverse communities of immigrants and others who are drawn to Anabaptism; and (3)
young adult leadership is still not being adequately cultivated for the next generation.

MY evolutionary biology prof is a Mennonite! NO ONE EVER BELIEVES ME!!
 
There's another Menno evolutionary biologist out there?! Who?

(I thought Anne Yoder might be Mennonite, but learned otherwise when she visited UI to give a talk about cute-looking lemurs. I like her taste in titles, though.)
