Face2Face | Anabaptism at 500: Commitment to Scripture (video)
Friday, February 28, 2025 @ 4:46 PM | Video
From 1525 to 2025, Anabaptists have taken a very personal and community-oriented approach to their embrace of the scriptures. This evening's conversation will investigate the ways the Bible shaped the 16th century Anabaptist movement at its inception and continues to uniquely define the Anabaptist tradition today. We will also celebrate the Canadian launch of the Anabaptist Community Bible.
This Face2Face event featured two parts: a panel discussion and the Canadian launch of the Anabaptist Community Bible, presented by CommonWord Bookstore and Resource Centre with CMU and Mennonite Church Canada.
