MCC responds to Sara Wenger Shenk (story in Canadian Mennonite)

The Canadian Mennonite has reported on Sara Wenger Shenk’s invitation, “A Modest Proposal to Pivot,” and MCC’s response.

In an email to the Canadian Mennonite, MCC leaders stated,

“We continue to appreciate Sara Wenger Shenk as a leader within the larger Anabaptist community. We are grateful for Sara Wenger Shenk’s concern for former MCC staff and for the health of the larger organization—it’s our concern, as well. As she noted, Wenger Shenk’s statement reflects an incomplete knowledge of what occurred in multiple situations, MCC’s policies and procedures and of the steps MCC is actively taking toward change. 

“We aren’t perfect and there have most certainly been failures on the part of MCC. There have also been many important changes, as we serve in difficult situations and address the needs of a complex and diverse workforce.“
