Congreso Mundial Menonita |
¿Quiénes somos?
El Congreso Mundial Menonita (CMM) es una comunidad mundial de iglesias cristianas cuyas raíces se remontan a la Reforma radical del siglo XVI en Europa, en especial en el movimiento anabautista. Actualmente, más de 1.600.000 creyentes pertenecen a esta familia de fe; con un poco más de 60 por ciento de africanos, asiáticos y latinoamericanos.
El CMM representa a 99 iglesias menonitas y de los Hermanos en Cristo a nivel nacional, localizadas en 56 países en seis continentes.
Visión
El Congreso Mundial Menonita está llamado a ser una comunión (koinonia) de iglesias afines al anabautismo, vinculadas unas con otras en una comunidad mundial de fe con el propósito de fraternizar, adorar, servir y testificar.
Misión
El CMM existe para (1) ser una comunidad mundial de fe de tradición anabautista, (2) propiciar relaciones entre iglesias afines al anabautismo de todo el mundo, y (3) relacionarse con otras comuniones y organizaciones cristianas mundiales.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—“Mennonite World Conference is in good shape. There are no crisis areas. What we agreed to do we have been able to do.”
With those words, Larry Miller, general secretary, summarized the work of MWC to the Executive Committee when it gathered here July 28-August 4, 2010, for its annual meeting.
Most of the members of this Executive Committee were new, having been elected by the MWC General Council in 2009 in Asunción, Paraguay. Charged with overseeing the work of MWC between the triennial sessions of the MWC General Council, the new Executive Committee first spent time becoming acquainted with the structure and work of the organization they oversee.
But they soon became involved in discussion of significant areas for MWC’s ongoing work.

Global Anabaptist service entities
consider how best to work together
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—In an historic event, representatives of Anabaptist churches and organizations from around the world involved in service in some way gathered here August 6-9, 2010, to consider how they might work together more effectively.
The consultation, the first ever of its kind for Anabaptist service groups worldwide, drew 53 participants from 27 agencies, departments, or committees of Mennonite World Conference (MWC) member churches. From 18 countries and all continents, more than 80% of the total global Anabaptist membership was represented in some way, according to Reg Toews, Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada, one of three consultation facilitators.

August 18, 2010
The Executive Committee of Mennonite World Conference (MWC), while meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from July 28 through August 4, 2010, unanimously stated a preference for holding the next MWC Assembly in the United States, in 2015. The committee also unanimously decided to consider Indonesia as the alternate choice for 2015, if plans for the USA do not work out, and as the first choice for the site of the 2021 assembly.
“We need two items in order to move forward with the USA as the location for our next global gathering,” said Larry Miller, MWC General Secretary. “We need to discuss with the MWC member churches in the USA whether they desire to host the next assembly. And, if they do, we need to do a feasibility study of the site they propose.”
