Networks
Anabaptist Network

Formed in 1992, the Anabaptist Network is a loose-knit, relational network of individuals interested in drawing on the insights and experiences of the Anabaptist tradition. Their mandate is to offer resources and perspectives from the Anabaptist tradition for reflection on Christian discipleship in a post-Christendom culture, where churches are now on the margins rather than at the center of society. They want to encourage friendship and sharing of ideas between those who are wrestling with the challenges of this context and who are interested in mining this marginalized tradition for responses. Above all, they want to stimulate and encourage faithful and creative forms of mission, church life, and discipleship. Urban Expression is one of the partners of the Anabaptist Network. It is an urban mission agency that recruits, equips, deploys and networks self-financing teams pioneering creative and relevant expressions of the Christian church in under-churched areas of the inner city. The inner city is where Christian mission in Britain has been at its most creative over the past two centuries. Many new expressions of church life, evangelism, and social action were pioneered here. People have come to faith in Jesus Christ, communities have been renewed and signs of God’s kingdom of justice and peace have been evident. But church life in many inner city communities is weak. So, under-churched areas of the inner city continue to challenge Christians to engage in pioneering and creative mission. Urban Expression is one response to this challenge. In September 2008 Franconia Conference sent Krista Ehst to serve as an intern with the Anabaptist Network and Urban Expression, working out of East London. Her ten-month assignment is one way of working out our partnership and beginning to build bridges to bring learning to Franconia Conference congregations.
Grace Assembly Network
Grace Assembly Network in Haiti consists of 24 congregations, 1 orphanage, and 3 schools. Leadership training and stability are key issues for the future of this vibrant network, located in the poorest nation in the western hemisphere.
In spite of this country’s decades of political instability and extreme economic hardships, Grace Assembly leader Pastor Lesly Bertrand feels a deep and compelling call of God to minister and plant Anabaptist churches among his native Haitian people. He believes that education and leadership development are key components for the future of the church in Haiti.
Franconia Conference and the Hopewell Network of churches are providing coaching to help Grace Assembly leaders begin micro-businesses to provide stable sources of income that can further enhance the ministry capacity of these unpaid ministry leaders. Franconia Conference leaders believe that we have the opportunity to learn from Grace Assembly’s spiritual vitality in all our congregations and ministries, to be inspired to pursue change and take faith steps, to embrace an identity beyond the American Mennonite world, to learn how to participate in mutual, global mission partnerships, to increase our intercultural sensitivity and skills, and to increase our confidence and passion in the gospel.
