Meet the Hope for the Future 2024 honorees
Breaking chains, mending walls at MC USA’s Hope for the Future conference
About Hope for the Future:
Hope for the Future is an annual gathering that brings together Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) leaders connected to Mennonite Church USA from across the nation. We gather as a worshipping community seeking spiritual rejuvenation, resource sharing, and mutual support. The event fosters a safe environment to assess the current realities and experiences of BIPOC leaders within Mennonite Church USA, emphasizing ways to build solidarity across cultural, racial, and intergenerational boundaries for systemic transformation.
Theme:
The theme for Hope for the Future 2024 was drawn from Isaiah 58, “Breaking Chains, Mending Walls.” Dr. Felipe Hinojosa honored us by guiding a journey through the history of BIPOC Mennonite leaders and congregations that have profoundly shaped the Mennonite Church.
