We have important links of various kinds with a number of other organisations. These include Workshop, a national leadership and discipleship training programme, Urban Expression, a church planting initiative in East London, Ekklesia, a theological think-tank on politics, SPEAK, a peace and justice campaigning organisation and Christian Peacemaker Teams, an international peacemaking group with a regional group in the UK.
We are developing relationships also with Anabaptist movements in other nations. The growing interest in Anabaptism in the UK is mirrored in other countries, many of which have as limited historic connections with this tradition as the UK has. It seems that in a post-Christendom world the Anabaptist tradition has significance in many societies, and we are eager to explore and strengthen these global connections.
We especially value our relationships and interaction with North American, European and British Mennonites (including the Mennonite Mission Network, the London Mennonite Centre and the Wood Green Mennonite Church). These links tie us to historical roots and provide a measure of accountability, without which it would be possible to make the term “Anabaptist” mean whatever anyone wanted it to mean.
