Considering consensus

Kerry Strayer teaches communication at Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio. Her dissertation focused on the merger between the Mennonite Church and the General Conference Mennonite Church. She began looking more broadly at Mennonite decision-making practices in preparation for a June 2006 conference evaluating the impact on the denomination of the 1995 Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective. She continues to collect narratives of individual, congregational, and denominational conflict and decision-making processes. To share your story, e-mail her at kstrayer@otterbein.edu.
