USMB Lead podcast: What makes a Mennonite and celebrating 500 years of Anabaptism

Next year marks a significant anniversary for our MB history and heritage, so we're preparing for a big party! The roots of our MB tradition can be traced to 1525 and the birth of the anabaptist movement beginning in Zurich. For those of us involved with USMB, it's helpful for us to remember that our heritage and our roots go way beyond our U.S. history, and this event is a meaningful chance to learn, remember, and reconnect with our Mennonite and anabaptist brothers and sisters around the world.

This week our guests are César García, the general secretary of the Mennonite World Conference, and Dr. Tim Geddert, our USMB delegate to UWC. We hear some behind-the-scenes planning for the anniversary event coming up next year, but César and Tim also share important reminders of what it means to be Mennonite, why adult baptism is such a big deal, and what we can learn from our larger Mennonite family around the world.
