Service and the Ministry of Reconciliation: A Missiological History of Mennonite Central Committee

What is Christian service? Where does Christian service take place? What communities does Christian service form? Who is understood to be serving whom in Christian service? How have some Christians understood service as an alternative to war and a witness to the gospel of peace? How is Christian service shaped by racism, colonialism, and other regimes of power?

In Service and the Ministry of Reconciliation, Alain Epp Weaver addresses such questions through a historical account of Mennonite Central Committee's century of global relief, development, and peace ministries.
