A Tapestry of Anabaptist Stories
by Jeanne Zimmerly Yantzi
A church begins a nonprofit to assist single mothers in their neighborhood. A baptism takes place in a barrel during a drought in a war-torn country. An urban congregation creates an intentional community of asylum seekers. Published in conjunction with the 500th anniversary of the Anabaptist Christian faith, Faith in Full Color introduces readers to a tapestry of creative expressions of contemporary Anabaptist witness in the world.
This book showcases the intersection of faith and life, showing how congregations, faith communities, and individuals express their faith. Together, these stories written and compiled by Jeanne Zimmerly Jantzi and accompanied by a diverse collection of photos address where we have been and, more importantly, where we are going as Anabaptist Christians: Where do we see God at work in our lives today? How have we seen God’s faithful presence in diverse Anabaptist communities? And what does God desire of the Anabaptist movement for the next 500 years?
The stories and voices in these pages offer wise, inspiring, forward-looking counsel as we celebrate our shared faith and glimpse God at work among us.
