This issue of Anabaptist Witness focuses on "Mission and Peace in Ethiopia." Henok T. Mekonin served as guest editor for the issue, with James R. Krabill acting as guest managing editor. The articles in this issue are organized in two large sections. The first focuses on mission and peace efforts in the broader context of the Ethiopian nation through a biblical reflection, an application of the Christus Victor narrative within the Ethiopian setting, and a survey of publications promoting interfaith conversations between Ethiopian Orthodox and Evangelical Christians. The second section focuses more specifically on Meserete Kristos Church (MKC) history and perspectives and is subdivided into a section entitled “Missionary Influences and Voices" and a section on MKC peace and mission efforts. The issue editorial offers a broad overview of the Ethiopian context. Book reviews also focus on Ethiopian Christianity.
In this book, one of BGU's PhD students, Pastor Desalegn Abebe Ejo, co-authored an excellent chapter entitled: "Ensuring Sustainable Church Growth by Implementing Taylored Strategies: A Case of Meserete Kristos Church in Ethiopia".
