2007 Discernment Session: Young Adults in the Church

MC Canada affirmation statement from 2007 report book: "Mennonite Church Canada desires to be an affirming home for the growth of faith and commitment for young adults and needs the creativity and fresh perspective they bring. Because the wellbeing of the present and future church depends on our capacity to incorporate young adults we must be proactive in creating space for young adults to offer and exercise their God-given gifts in leadership and service, in the life and ministries of the church. We pray for the grace to be flexible and to act courageously to make this possible, even if it feels threatening to the institutions and practices of our present and past. We proclaim this affirmation so that the whole body of Christ might grow in wisdom and knowledge and be empowered by the Holy Spirit toward the fulfillment of God's dream."
