In this third installment of Mennonite Mission Network’s Here With Purpose webinar series, moderator Travis Duerksen, writer / multimedia producer, joins panelists Arlin and Maretta Buller, Joanna Lawrence Shenk, Regina Shands Stoltzfus, and Executive Director Marisa Smucker to share stories and discuss the future of conscientious objection to military service, through the lens of Anabaptism.
Whether watching on your own or with a group, consider the following questions:
- What stood out to you about this discussion? What did you agree with? What are you unsure of?
- What is your experience with service, conscientious objection, or the military? How has that experience shaped who you are?
- How did you hear peace discussed at home and in church when you were younger? How has that changed over time?
- What does being a witness for peace look like for you as an individual? For your faith community? What could being a peace witness look like on a national or international level?
