Bridgefolk appoints new director, Kent Yoder

The Bridgefolk Board is pleased to announce the appointment of a new executive director, Kent Yoder of Goshen, Indiana.

Kent is a student at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS) in Elkhart, Indiana, where he is currently pursuing a degree in the Master of Divinity program. He is a member of Assembly Mennonite Church and is actively involved in congregational life.

Kent has recently worked in the Geneva Office of the World Council of Churches, and this involvement has led to his pursuit of a M.A. thesis on the subject of international ecumenical peace dialogue. In the summer of 2007, Kent helped coordinate the Bridgefolk Conference held at AMBS.
