Do you know about the Anabaptist Community Bible?

Planning an Anabaptist Bible | Anabaptist World
It will be a “people’s Bible” that, if recruiting is successful, will draw on the work of 500 small groups of laypeople who will write marginal notes and commentary.

Something big* happened 30 years ago. We're celebrating that milestone this year - and looking ahead. Stay tuned for opportunities to share memories, ideas, and more, as we look back with joy, and forward with hope.

*AAANZ was founded (as a network) in 1995. But maybe you knew that already!

Ever listened to the Fresh Expressions podcast?
Jesus made the mission really simple: go make disciples. The goal of Fresh Expressions is to inspire churches to take hold of that mission right where they are.
