Caleb Schrock-Hurst will speak about "Migration, Modernization, and Mission." Nineteenth-century Mennonites worldwide grappled with the realities of technological and social innovation, which presented new challenges and opportunities to cohesion and faithfulness. The rise of modern nationalism and various technological developments led to significant migrations and divisions, setting the stage for global Anabaptist growth in the twentieth century.

Caleb Schrock-Hurst has served on the staff of the Virginia Mennonite Conference and earned a Master of Arts in Religion at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. He and his wife, Stephanie, intend to serve with the Mennonite Mission Network in Taiwan beginning sometime in 2025.
