The Changing Cultural Context in Which
We Find Ourselves
This collection of charts grew out of the Missional Leaders Training Course
sponsored by Mennonite Church Canada in 2003. They summarize some important
shifts in the cultural context in which the churches of North America find
themselves. Congregational leaders may use them in their own cultural and theological
reflection. Or they may wish to use them in various kinds of instruction and
preaching.
