Seven callings from CMU25
Rev. Vince Solomon, CMU Elder in Residence
"Though many things have changed, CMU continues to embody the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It is not afraid to call itself a Christian university in the Anabaptist faith tradition. As an Anglican priest I love giving blessings. May God be seen wandering around CMU halls. As you walk into a classroom, as a student or visitor, may there be excellence. May teaching and learning abound in much fruitfulness. May a vibrant community life continue to develop. May the place build change makers. May the vocations in which you are called be fulfilled and may you prepare for those here. May God bless this place with his grace and may his presence be felt everywhere within the teachers, administration, staff, and all students."

This year we celebrate the story of Canadian Mennonite University at its 25-year cadence. This is a worthy breathing place—a time to say thank you, tell stories, reckon with the times, and attune ourselves to gifts in much vaster spans.
We offer tribute to generations of people who had a stake in building and nourishing CMU since long before the notion of coming together as a university was even a dream. We're inspired by thousands of alumni of CMU and predecessor colleges, whose lives bear witness to why this place matters to church and society.

On an unseasonably warm fall evening, the annual J.J. Thiessen Lecture series at CMU was underway. The Scriptures had been read, and for the night of October 22, 2024 it came from Hebrews 12:1-2 where the Christian faithful are reminded of being surrounded throughout history by a "great cloud of witnesses" as an encouragement to put off all weights and sins to run the race set before them, focused on Christ.

When applying to CMU, I didn't really have a firm idea of what I wanted to major in. I had interests, sure, and knew that any sort of science was going to be more than I could handle. Ancient history had always been something I enjoyed (being a Percy Jackson kid), and when browsing the registration guide, I saw a few classes that I wanted to know more about.

These lectures explore spirituality under the rubric of sacredness: what would it look like to notice more of the sacredness around us and respond appropriately to it? They try to shed a bit of light on this question by considering three broad forms of sacredness—transcendent value, transcendent beauty, and transcendent power—and suggesting that religion can play a crucial role in helping us hold these together. The first lecture makes a general case for this approach. The second and third lectures then give an example of what this looks like. In particular, they argue that Christianity's higher-order beliefs teach us to see all things in light of God and, just so, to see the sacredness in all things; they likewise argue that Christian virtue attunes us to this sacredness. Lectures two and three, accordingly, sketch an odd sort of systematic theology—spanning revelation and faith, creation and love, consummation and hope—that can serve as a guide to spirituality.

Kenny Wollmann is a high school educator, teaching primarily Bible, theology, and world religions—but not in a typical classroom. Wollmann teaches students online in Hutterite communities across Manitoba and even into the northern United States.

With only small groups of students in each community, sharing resources, like teachers who are each experts in their subjects, helps ensure a robust learning program.
