Historical Perspectives, Booklet #2 in the Welcome to Dialogue series, documents the pilgrimage of the Mennonite Church as it has faced the reality of sexual minorities among its membership and within member families. The church has not yet resolved the issues related to "who is in and who is out" as it seeks to be faithful to God's mandate to teach the faith stories, follow the commandments of Christ, and thus "pass on the faith."
As the two articles in this booklet document, the church, since 1970, has become increasingly aware of the sexual minorities present in its midst (and in its families). Struggles, rather than opportunity, surround church membership. Questions related to boundaries and to being an invitational missional church faithful to Jesus' command (Matt.28: 18-20) have multiplied. In response to this growing awareness and struggle a Listening Committee was established in 1990.
