The ICOMB executive encourages global MB churches to schedule classes on the new confession study guide Knowing and Living Your Faith during 2009 as a lead-up to the Mennonite Brethren 150th anniversary in 2010. Sixteen international leaders contributed to the 130-page booklet. “Studying a confession elicits some good theological grappling,” said one class participant at Westwood Community Church, Winnipeg.
