| Summary: | This article analyzes the ways that Mennonite Central Committee demonstrates distinctively Mennonite understandings of peacemaking and argues that both in terms of content—that is, the particular ways of defining peace - as well as in its programs, M.C.C. works in a distinctly Mennonite way within the context of other international faith-based nongovernmental organizations. Through an ethnographic analysis of M.C.C.’s country programs in East Africa the essay argues that M.C.C.’s peacebuilding and development work have remained consistent with the deeper Mennonite understandings of the theology and practice of peace. |
