LECTURE 3: “We are in this world up to our necks:” Finding the Church Beyond Purity and Schism
At the core of Anabaptist-Hutterite identity is a view of the church as distinct from the “world.” This vision of a visible communal witness has sustained Anabaptist-Hutterite communities for more than five centuries. Yet at the same time, Christian communities are always deeply embedded in the world. This lecture reflects on the contemporary challenge of being a faithful church that is true to its vision while also recognizing our cultural contexts and the need for healthy, ongoing renewal.
