The Schism Between Us

A podcast about cultural and religious tension between Mennonites and Mennonite Brethren in Canada

Hi! I’m Marnie, writer, lay-theologian, ecumenist, Jesus-loyalist, and audio-documentarian.

I grew up Mennonite Brethren in small town BC, but our church was majorly resourced by the Alberta Mennonite conference… so when I later landed in Menno-land, you can imagine my surprise to discover that MB’s and Mennonites don’t actually work together all that often.

I’m making this podcast because I think the conflict, tension, and relationship between our two conferences is a story that needs to be told – and as someone who has straddled the conferences my whole life long, I think I’m the person to tell it.
