Whether or not you were able to participate in the gatherings of Mennonites and Catholics in late July at Saint John’s Abbey, you may be interested in reading accounts of those events as they appear. A news story on the Bridgefolk gathering is to appear next week in The Mennonite Weekly Review; I will send out a link to the story when it becomes available. In the meantime here are two articles on the Martyrs Conference that took place in the days before, along with an editorial in the Mennonite Weekly Review that comments favorably on the state of Mennonite-Catholic dialogue.
