This week, Pastor Renee highlighted reconciliation as the center of our work as Mennonites. She spoke of the importance of reconciling ourselves and others to God, reconciling people to one another, and acting as ambassadors of reconciliation to the world. Each way of working towards reconciliation is connected to and strengthened by the others. Like Matryoshka dolls (Russian nesting dolls), they are each distinct, yet part of a larger, overlapping whole.
