Upcoming Webinar:  

Spiritual Resiliency, Dementia and Caregiving during Uncertain Days: Staying grounded through hopeful stories and faithful practices.

Accompanying a person with dementia has never been easy, but perhaps at no time in history has it been more challenging than today. The media is filled with inspiring images of professional caregivers who demonstrate amazing courage and endurance, day after day, but less attention is paid to those quietly giving care at home.  These “invisible” helpers are angels as well—and they are tired, isolated, at physical risk and worried about the future.

Beginning May 12 at 8 pm EDT and on Tuesday evenings following, watch 20 minute presentations followed by a chance to ask questions. Free Registration and More Information

This past Spring, Grebel postponed its Convocation Celebration to the Fall. We hoped that the Fall event could be in-person, but unfortunately we are still unable to hold large gatherings. I'm sorry that we cannot celebrate graduation face-to-face. 

2020 Benjamin Eby Lecture

The #MeToo movement has placed sexual violence in the spotlight and Mennonites are asking; “What does it mean to be people of peace when sexual abuse and assault is woven into the fabric of our own communities?” Through a survey of church periodicals, I will show that some Mennonites have been working on this topic for almost fifty years.

Join us for an information session about the Master of Theological Studies program at Conrad Grebel University College.

Carol Penner and Bekah Smoot-Enns will share about the MTS program, including admission requirements, scholarship opportunities, and the applicaiton process.
