Martyrdom in an Ecumenical Perspective: A Mennonite-Catholic Conversation

One of the most painful memories in need of healing concerns the legacy of martyrdom - a reality in both Anabaptist and Catholic traditions. A selection of the presentations made at two conferences both held at St. John's Abbey in Minnesota (2003 and 2004) are published in this volume. They demonstrate the willingness of both Catholics and Mennonites to confront even the most difficult issues of the past in a spirit of openness, humility and understanding.
