PRESS RELEASE
Mennonite World Conference
September 2, 2003

Stories Distributed Internationally by Mennonite World Conference

Dear editors and friends worldwide,

The week-long, much anticipated Assembly Gathered in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, has come and gone but the stories around the event continue to inspire participants and those unable to attend. John, the Gospel writer, conceded that he could not possibly tell all the stories of what Jesus said and did. Likewise, space and time do not allow all the Assembly 14 stories to be written. However, we will share as many as possible.

Many writers from a variety of Mennonite and BIC publications were in Bulawayo and we thank them for making their stories available for wider distribution through MWC's news service.

Several stories were released immediately after the conclusion of meetings in Bulawayo. You can expect another packet shortly in addition to the stories — some with photos — included here:

  1. Feeding the 7,000
  2. Jubilant music marks concluding worship service
  3. African history book clears hurdles for release at MWC assembly
  4. Tragic accident takes lives of BIC missionary couple
  5. Interest in AIDS pandemic crowds workshops
  6. Caption for HIV/AIDS quilt photo
  7. Thieves rob young Americans
— Ferne Burkhardt, News Editor
