Released on Veterans鈥� Day, Nov. 11, the free six-week course focuses on biblical reflections and insights about trauma with significant input from a third source.鈥淩eturning Veterans, Returning Hope: Seeking Peace Together鈥� was created by and the and .

Evan Knappenberger, an Iraq War veteran studying at 黑料正能量 in Harrisonburg, Va., spent the summer researching and writing as part of a nontraditional .

鈥淚 did a lot of coordinating with veterans in the Mennonite world,鈥� he said. 鈥淚n almost every little Mennonite community there is one or two, if not more. There are a lot more in the Brethren in Christ church in Pennsylvania.鈥�

The idea for the curriculum was hatched when Knappenberger crossed paths with MCC U.S. peace education coordinator Titus Peachey and PJSN coordinating minister Jason Boone at .

The group sees the materials as a relatively new field 鈥� addressing how Christian pacifists can embrace returning warriors. For this, Knappenberger looked on his own experience.

As an intelligence analyst for the Army, he developed doubts about the military鈥檚 role and actions after joining out of high school three days after the war started in 2003. When the Army tried to 鈥渟top-loss鈥� him for two years of active duty beyond his required time, he managed to secure a general discharge 鈥� later upgraded to honorable.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 consider myself as a peace person until I was out for a couple months,鈥� said the .

New kind of analyst

Since his discharge, Knappenberger enrolled at 黑料正能量, where he is finishing his bachelor鈥檚 degree and planning to enroll at next year. He has attended in Harrisonburg for more than two years and has enjoyed getting to know the broader Mennonite church.

His experience in two worlds most people consider quite different brings a fresh perspective.

鈥淭here are a lot of potentially good things that veterans can offer churches,鈥� he said. 鈥淭here are good qualities of soldiers and veterans. Gandhi was a veteran; Tolstoy was a veteran. The people who teach us nonviolence, many of them wore a uniform.鈥�

He said both veterans and Mennonites have stories of trauma.

鈥淎ny time you can connect the experience of trauma in a community that is focused on wholeness like the Anabaptists are, that鈥檚 helpful for both sides,鈥� he said.

鈥� . . . Veterans are very mission-oriented people. That鈥檚 part of our indoctrination 鈥� mission first 鈥� and that鈥檚 also a value of at least some parts of the Mennonite world. There鈥檚 also a big focus in the military on community.鈥�

Making community isn鈥檛 always easy. Knappenberger acknowledged fundamental differences could lead to misunderstandings and misconceptions, but that鈥檚 not a reason to avoid each other.

鈥淚 think the thing to remember is that it is going to be messy,鈥� he said. 鈥淏ut I think if it鈥檚 done in the spirit of love, the messiness won鈥檛 override the intention, which is good.鈥�

Calvin Shenk ’59 does not have to face the existential question of whether he would be willing to die in a nonviolent act to save the life of another person. He would.

The test came in 1985. Shenk and his wife Marie were leading an 黑料正能量 group that was staying temporarily in a Palestinian community in the Middle East. Shenk heard an argument outside his apartment door and saw an Israeli soldier put his gun in the face of a Palestinian man. He jumped between the two, and urged the men to go their separate ways. They did.

鈥淒on鈥檛 call me brave 鈥� it was just the right thing to do,鈥� insists Shenk. 鈥淲hen you see a rifle pointed at a person right outside your door you don鈥檛 think, you just do it.鈥�

As a member of 黑料正能量鈥檚 task force in 1981, Shenk brought 14 years of living in Ethiopia and a passion for the transformative possibilities of immersion in another culture.

In September 1983, Shenk penned an essay justifying the cross-cultural requirement for every 黑料正能量 undergraduate. 鈥淭his kind of education will be both painful and enjoyable,” he wrote. “The results will not always be predictable. We will experience anger and exhilaration, depression and vision.

鈥淏ut growth will occur, and that is what college is for. Such education will make us better citizens of the global village and better members of God鈥檚 international kingdom, the church.鈥� (Read this delightfully readable essay.)

In his 1985 baccalaureate speech, Shenk stressed the importance of losing one鈥檚 narrow-mindedness:

Today many people wrap Christ in an American flag. But we who follow Christ follow him to the world. We are global people. As we experience other cultures our attitudes and values change. This need not be frightening. We develop more world-mindedness and less chauvinism, bigotry and narrow-mindedness 鈥�.

As you develop greater understanding for other cultures, you see your own culture from another perspective. This causes you to both appreciate and critique your culture. You have mixed feelings about our democratic system, educational system, technological development, capitalist consumerism and quest for military supremacy. You have begun to see the back side of our culture 鈥� aggressiveness, depersonalization, arrogance, individualism. It isn鈥檛 possible to feel culturally superior. We can鈥檛 assume that our way is right.

Shenk added that it was 鈥渇alse modesty鈥� to fail to share the good news about Christ. 鈥淲e come to new understandings of Christ as we enter into conversation but it is always consistent with the biblical witness of who Christ is.鈥�

Shenk鈥檚 first cross-cultural experience was teaching Bible and world religions and doing other mission work in Ethiopia under Eastern Mennonite Missions for 14 years. (Marie taught bookkeeping and typing there.)

Shenk earned a PhD in religious education from New York University in 1972 and then joined the Bible and religion faculty of 黑料正能量 in 1976. Marie ’59, MA ’98 (in religion), was an administrative assistant to the academic dean from 1976 to 1990. The Shenks led their first of four 黑料正能量 trips in the fall of 1978, taking students to the Middle East.

In 1994 the Shenks began an assignment in Israel and Palestine under Mennonite Board of Missions (a precursor to Mennonite Mission Network), and Mennonite Central Committee. For the next seven years, until 2001, the couple lived six months of every year in Jerusalem, returning to Harrisonburg the remainder of the year where Shenk continued to teach at 黑料正能量. In 2002, Shenk retired from 黑料正能量. Marie died in 2010. The Shenks raised three children, all graduates of 黑料正能量: Doug ’86, Duane ’90 and Donna (Sensenig) ’91.

Kauffman has extensive local and international mission experience serving most recently as VMM global ministries director and advancement associate since 2011. A seven-member search committee of members began their work in June 2013, and recommended Kauffman to the VMM Board.

Phyllis Miller, chair of the VMM Board states, 鈥淲e are delighted with Aaron鈥檚 selection as president. His unanimous selection by the Board indicates a trust level in his leadership along with a proven track record as global ministries director. We are grateful to God for this servant leader he has given us to lead VMM for this next period of time.鈥�

Kauffman will follow Loren Horst, who has served since 2002 as VMM president. Loren and his wife, Earlene, will be considering future VMM mission assignments after he concludes his current role on December 31, 2013. He states, “I am very pleased with the selection of Aaron Kauffman. Aaron is relationally warm, missiologically sound, and administratively competent. He combines mission passion with a deep faith in Jesus and love for the entire church. Aaron鈥檚 mission experience and proven leadership have prepared him well for this additional responsibility.

Upon his selection, Kauffman notes, 鈥淚t is truly an honor to be asked to serve Virginia Mennonite Missions in this way. With God’s help and the church’s prayerful support, I look forward to continuing VMM’s legacy of faithful witness to the good news of Jesus Christ. It is an exciting time to be part of what God is doing around the world through the church.”

VMRC, neighboring 黑料正能量 (黑料正能量) on the northeast, has a $20 million annual budget, 400 employees, and 750 residents in a wide range of homes and other accommodations.

Trumbo is perhaps best known for directing the transition in 2010 of R from Cantrell Avenue in downtown Harrisonburg to a new 660,000-square-foot facility at the eastern edge of the city.

After the hospital move, Trumbo served as RMH鈥檚 acting director of perioperative services (surgery and all the services surrounding it). For 20 years before the move, she was director of RMH Home Healthcare.

Trumbo went to work at RMH as a registered nurse after her graduation from 黑料正能量 as a major. She also holds a master of business administration degree from James Madison University.

Over the years, Trumbo has been active in leadership roles with the , , , , , and ElderAlliance. Currently she chairs the and serves as an associate trustee on the 黑料正能量 board of trustees.

鈥淛udith has the financial astuteness, strategic planning experience, knowledge of our industry, and strong communication skills to lead VMRC,鈥� said Sheryl (King) Wyse 鈥�68, chair of the board of directors. 鈥淚n addition, Judith is well respected throughout the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County communities for her professional and volunteer leadership contributions.鈥�

Yoder is wrapping up 13 years as president of VMRC, where he strengthened the organization鈥檚 financial health and enhanced its culture of innovation and quality. Under his leadership, VMRC added Woodland Park, , , Transitional Care, and Outpatient Rehabilitation Services.

Yoder became president of VMRC in 1999 after being vice president for global ministries at (now Mennonite Mission Network) in Elkhart, Ind. Before that he served the as regional representative for in India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

As an 黑料正能量 student, Yoder was a major. He holds a master鈥檚 degree from the University of Pittsburgh in public and international affairs. Yoder said hopes to stay engaged on a part-time basis as a consultant in the field of international development.

As garden coordinator for the Primavera Foundation, Stahl-Wert plans and manages community gardens at transitional housing properties in Tucson, Ariz., where she is in the middle of a two-year term with Mennonite Voluntary Service, a Mennonite Mission Network聽program.

Each week, Stahl-Wert, 22, works alongside residents, many of whom were formerly homeless, as they care for gardens and harvest their own fruits and vegetables. Together, they grow peas, potatoes, carrots, corn, melons and squash聽year-round.

Stahl-Wert said the purpose of the project is to increase food security by teaching garden skills, providing fresh, healthy food for the tenants, and engaging people in life-giving collaborative聽work.

Many of the residents at the two main properties where Stahl-Wert works had no prior gardening experience and were initially skeptical the gardens would be聽fruitful.

Much of Stahl-Wert鈥檚 early work focused on teaching people gardening basics and convincing them the project was worth their time. As plants began to sprout, optimism did聽too.

鈥淭hese are people who have lived rough lives, who were very cynical about the gardens in the beginning,鈥� she said. 鈥淏ut after a year of continuity, of watching the idea grow, they get very excited when they see the vegetables. It鈥檚 a tangible sort of聽joy.鈥�

At first Stahl-Wert was the only person to tend the community gardens regularly. Now, four women from one of the housing properties routinely work with聽her.

Sometimes the women even prepare meals together. Stahl-Wert will never forget the first time she invited her gardening friends to cook dinner together using their own聽produce.

鈥淭hey claimed to not like vegetables,鈥� she said. 鈥淏ut once they tried the dishes, they said they loved every single one. That night they ate ridiculous amounts of聽vegetables.鈥�

Stahl-Wert, who earned a degree in environmental sustainability in 2011 from 黑料正能量 in Harrisonburg, Va., was not sure what she wanted to do after graduation. The Pittsburgh native didn鈥檛 feel her skills were marketable and was not interested in working simply to make聽money.

When she came across the MVS garden coordinator position in Tucson, it seemed like the right fit. For Stahl-Wert, an avid gardener, MVS offered the perfect intersection of her interests in environmental science and social聽justice.

Stahl-Wert also enjoys the simple, communal living she experiences in her MVS unit聽house.

鈥淚 have been happily surprised to find myself in a voluntary service position that has a lot of responsibility and space for my own creativity,鈥� Stahl-Wert said. 鈥淸Primavera was] interested in starting gardening programs but didn鈥檛 have the resources to create a full-time staff position to do聽it.

鈥淲ithout a volunteer like me to get the garden program running, it may have never happened. That鈥檚 a pretty cool role for a recent college grad and first-year MVSer to聽play.鈥�

Gbowee, who shares the prize with and , earned a master鈥檚 degree in conflict transformation from the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP) at in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She attended CJP鈥檚 Summer Peacebuilding Institute in 2004 and participated in a round-table for Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (known as 鈥淪TAR鈥�) in 2005.

Gbowee led a nationwide women鈥檚 movement that was instrumental in halting Liberia鈥檚 second civil war in 2003.

鈥淟eymah Gbowee mobilized and organized women across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women鈥檚 participation in elections,鈥� noted the in making the award. 鈥淪he has since worked to enhance the influence of women in West Africa during and after war.鈥�

Starting in the 1990s

Gbowee鈥檚 links to Mennonites began in 1998, when she received training in 鈥渢rauma healing and reconciliation鈥� and then worked at rehabilitating child soldiers. Perhaps unbeknownst to her, the first trainings in this subject in Liberia occurred when , a Mennonite with trauma expertise, arrived in Liberia in the early 1990s, with funding from and what is now called , both based in the United States.

Hart trained Lutheran church workers who, in turn, trained Gbowee. Hart also arranged for , who became Gbowee鈥檚 friend and mentor, to earn a graduate degree in conflict transformation at 黑料正能量. In 1998 Doe became one of the earliest master鈥檚 degree graduates from what is now called the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, setting the stage for Gbowee to earn the same degree nine years later.

In her 2011 memoir, 鈥�,鈥� Gbowee says she came to 黑料正能量 because it was 鈥渁n American college with a well-known program in peace-building and conflict resolution. It was a Christian school that emphasized community and service.鈥�

Responding to the Nobel announcement, 黑料正能量 President said: 聽鈥淭he impact that Leymah was able to have, first in Liberia, then in West Africa, and now all over the world, shows that another, nonviolent reality is possible. This affirms the dreams and hopes of groups, educational institutions, and churches that are devoted to supporting peace work.”

鈥淲e plant what we call 鈥榮eeds of peace鈥� as widely as we possibly can, usually through education in peace building theory and skills, and then trust that some of these seeds will bear fruit,鈥� he added.

Seeds of Peace

The woman Gbowee calls her 鈥渢rue friend鈥� and fellow founder of , Thelma Ekiyor, attended 黑料正能量鈥檚 2002 Summer Peacebuilding Institute, as did Gbowee鈥檚 first champion and employer in Liberia, Lutheran Reverend 鈥淏B鈥� Colley, who attended the annual institute in 2000 and 2001. At Colley鈥檚 urging, Gbowee read 鈥溾�� by the well-known Mennonite ethicist John Howard Yoder.

Gbowee, who was named , is the central figure in a documentary co-produced by , 鈥�.鈥� Completed in 2008, the documentary is part of a 鈥溾�� series to be aired over five successive Tuesdays in October 2011 on public television stations in the United States.

In her memoir, Gbowee credits with introducing her to the (WANEP), an organization that he co-founded and led after finishing his master鈥檚 degree at 黑料正能量. (Doe received 黑料正能量鈥檚 annual and now works for the United Nations. His daughter, Samfee, graduated from 黑料正能量 in the spring of 2011, overlapping for one year with Gbowee鈥檚 eldest son, Joshua 鈥淣uku鈥� Mensah, who enrolled in the fall of 2010.)

鈥淲ANEP, based in Ghana, emphasized using nonviolent strategies and encouraged women to join the effort to address problems of violence, war and human rights abuses,鈥� wrote Gbowee.

WANEP supported the launch of , the organization through which Gbowee and her colleagues conducted the campaigns that played a key role in ending the civil war in Liberia. (This organization is the predecessor to Gbowee鈥檚 current organization, Women, Peace and Security Network Africa.) The WANEP-launched women鈥檚 network鈥攑lus , the grassroots movement led by Gbowee鈥攍aid the groundwork for the election of fellow Nobel Laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as president of Liberia, the first woman president of an African nation.

WANEP is now led byof Ghana, a 2002 graduate of CJP.

CJP Teachings Credited

Gbowee鈥檚 memoir credits two of the founding professors of CJP, and , with strongly influencing her through their writings and teachings.

鈥淚 read Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi and the Kenyan author and conflict and reconciliation expert Hizkias Assefa, who believed that reconciliation between victim and perpetrator was the only way to really resolve conflict, especially civil conflict, in the modern world. Otherwise, Assefa wrote, both remained bound together forever, one waiting for apology or revenge, the other fearing retribution.鈥�

As Gbowee began to attend international meetings pertaining to peace and feeling the need to 鈥渟peak with more knowledge and authority,鈥� she says, 鈥淚 began amassing books on conflict resolution theory: 鈥樷�� and 鈥�,鈥� both by .鈥�

In May 2004, the summer after the Liberian peace accords were signed, Gbowee came to 黑料正能量 to attend classes at its annual Summer Peacebuilding Institute. 鈥淭hose four weeks were another transformative time for me,鈥� she says in her book, noting that she studied with Assefa at the institute and with, 鈥渨ho taught me the concept of 鈥榬estorative justice.鈥欌��

鈥淩estorative justice was鈥� something we could see as ours and not artificially imposed by Westerners. And we needed it, needed that return to tradition. A culture of impunity flourished throughout Africa. People, officials, governments did evil but were never held accountable. More than we needed to punish them, we needed to undo the damage they had done.鈥�

Women in Peacebuilding at 黑料正能量

In June 2011 at 黑料正能量, Gbowee participated in a by-invitation conference on the needs of women peacebuilders around the world. Participants included filmmaker Abigail Disney of the United States, of Fiji, of Afghanistan, and , a Kenyan-Muslim woman of Somali ethnic origin who received the 2007 Right Livelihood Prize. (Abdi died in a car accident after returning to Kenya in July 2011.)

鈥淎s a direct result of this conference, we will be launching a women and peacebuilding program at our ,鈥� says , executive director of CJP.

The highly engaging Drs. Akrami, Rasoulipour and Mousavian emphasized the eager willingness of many Iranians to promote interfaith dialogue among ‘people of the book’ who share a common heritage as Children of Abraham. Their visit to the 黑料正能量 campus was jointly sponsored by Abraham’s Tent and Mennonite Central Committee. (Photo by Jim Bishop)

Jointly sponsored by Abraham’s Tent and Mennonite Central Committee, the visit included meetings with top school administrators, personnel from the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding and an afternoon forum on the topic, “Why Faith-based Peacebuilding is Important.”

Importance of interfaith dialogue

An active proponent of interfaith dialog, Dr. Rasoulipour works closely with the Center for Interreligious Dialogue in Tehran where he formerly served as director. In recent years he has been instrumental in arranging MCC learning tours to Iran.

Two Iranian colleagues, Dr. Seyed Mousavian and Dr. Amir Akrami, both professors of philosophy and religion in Iran, were able to join Dr. Rasoulipour for the 黑料正能量 meetings.

The late afternoon forum drew an unexpectedly large group of about 100 persons.

East Coast learning tour

Ed Martin, formerly of MCC, helped to organize an East Coast tour for the three interfaith dialogue proponents. Their visit included meetings in Charlottesville, Washington, DC., and Cambridge, Mass.

Dr. Rasoulipour has spent the past year as a visiting professor at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Ind., and returned to his teaching post in Tehran on June 5.

Prior to the forum, Dr. Rasoulipour talks with Robert Lee, retired Mennonite Mission Network missionary who worked with his wife, Nancy, for many years in Japan. (Photo by Jim Bishop)

“We feel highly honored by Dr. Rasoulipour’s visit and his willingness to not only lecture on this important topic but to share his personal commitment to interfaith dialogue,” said Gretchen H. Maust, associate director of Abraham’s Tent.

“It’s important for us to know that the Iranian people long to build relationships and welcome opportunities to debate our differences so we can grow in respectful understanding of each other,” she added.

Learning and new experiences don’t end with retirement, at least not for one group of seniors who spent most of October traveling in China.

The combined group had extensive overseas experience and represented decades of college classroom teaching, but few had ever been to China. As retired Temple University professor Elmer Miller stated, "China was never on my radar screen."

Mennonite Partners in China (formerly China Educational Exchange) arranged the visit at the request of the Anabaptist Center for Religion and Society (ACRS). ACRS is a group of retired professors, primarily from 黑料正能量, who seek to connect faith and life in contemporary academia and the church. ACRS members and long-time Mennonite Mission Network workers Robert and Nancy Lee sparked the interest in the tour.

The 17 participants visited major historical sights like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in Beijing, the canals of Suzhou, skyscrapers in Shanghai and the ancient terracotta army in Xian. A visit to the 7th century site of the first Christian church and monastery in China was a highlight for many. An ancient pagoda marks the site of this Nestorian mission.

Listen and Learn

According to John A. Lapp, former executive secretary of Mennonite Central Committee, a primary objective for the group was "to listen and learn what the Spirit is saying to the churches in China." Following a worship service in Beijing, the senior pastor shared the history of her congregation of 7,000 and fielded questions from the ACRS group.

Visits to seminaries in two different cities highlighted the progress that the church has made in training pastors. However, leaders admitted that most churches and meeting points still rely on lay leadership.

An unusual privilege was the visit to a meeting point in the remote countryside of Sichuan province. The Christian faith came to this area of China less than 20 years ago, but already more than 300 believers attend. Park View Mennonite Church in Harrisonburg, Va., contributed funds for the completion of the building where the believers meet. Albert Keim and others from the Park View congregation continued the ties between the two congregations by bringing greetings. Members who gathered at the meeting point shared several songs, and the pastor explained how the church had been helped by other churches in the province in their battle against false teachings.

After numerous conversations with Chinese pastors, seminary teachers and North American Mennonites working in China, the ACRS group admitted that the situation of the church in China is highly complex. In a signed letter to Mennonite mission agencies and MCC, the group stated: "We are sure that to work in China without a profound respect for differences and divergences from conventional western assumptions about authentic Christianity would be a serious mistake.: The group commended Mennonite Partners in China for their work in :interpreting the faith and practice of the church in China, serving as helpers and facilitators of its vision."
