An Update on PMC at the Lancaster Mennonite Conference
November 30, 2006
Capital Christian Fellowship, one of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference’s most colorful participating congregations in the Partnership for Missional Congregations, is one of four North American congregations to be consulted, paired with a southern African congregation, and written up in a study by Drs. Frederick Marais and Pat Taylor Ellison, to be presented at the 2007 International Research Consortium meeting in Greifswald, Germany.
CCF’s twin congregation in the study is Woodstock Methodist Church in Cape Town, South Africa. Woodstock is known for its work with SHADE, a faith-based NPO that organizes trainings on HIV/AIDS. The church hosts many immigrants and in that way parallels Capital Christian fellowship. They are both mainline churches that have become servants of immigrant populations in different hemispheres!
