In the second part of the question of why it is important to talk about community, hosts Jesse Penner and Andrew Dyck focus more tightly on anabaptist communities specifically. Community is universal to the church—things that the church the world over is grappling with. However, it has been particularly important to anabaptists historically.

How did Anabaptist define and practice community? How does living out what we believe, benefit our wider community? What are the pitfalls of the anabaptist way of doing community? In what way does a healthy expression of an anabaptist community bring people to Jesus in our current culture?

Those are some of the questions our guests Layton Friesen, Steve Bell, Meghan Larissa Good and Stuart Murray address and Andrew and Jesse follow by asking just how we do get out of our armchairs and live out what we’ve learned.
