Polity in Mennonite Church Canada: How Did We Get to Where We Are?

2007, 2 pp

  • What is the polity of Mennonite Church Canada?
  • How, in the process of integration, did we get to where we are?

This short history suggests that while pragmatic reasons were at the forefront, theological considerations were also important in the process. Increasingly “church” was being viewed not only as a fellowship that meets locally, but also a Christian community that gathers regionally, nationally, and worldwide. This conviction was understood to be consonant with Biblical teaching, confessional statements, and in line with historical understandings within the Mennonite tradition. The name change from “conference” to “church” at the national level (from CMC to MC Canada), and the name changes that took place at regional levels were a natural outcome of these insights as well as the result of revisions in polity.
