BLACKNESS, WHITENESS, AND THE ANABAPTIST ‘IMAGINED COMMUNITY’

On March 11, the 2021 Bechtel Lecture in Anabaptist-Mennonite Studies was presented online by Dr. Timothy D. Epp of Redeemer University. The lecture focused on the racialization of Anabaptists, as reflected in denominational periodicals and newspapers, and on the ways preconceptions of blackness and whiteness informed Mennonite mission activity in the United States and Canada. The evening also featured a reflection and musical performance by Diana Braithwaite. A live Q&A followed the lecture.
