(Re)Reading Menno Simons with Gerald J. Mast Mennonite Life invites members to an exclusive evening of storytelling and reflection on the relevance of Menno Simons' work for today on August 24, 7 p.m. in the Mennonite Life Community Room. Dr. Gerald J. Mast, Professor of Communication at Bluffton University, will share his personal passion for Menno's works, and introduce a series to be published in Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage.
