Mennonite PeacemakingFrom Quietism to Activism by Leo Driedger and Donald B. Kraybill |

The process of modernization levied a dramatic impact on the mode and style of Mennonite peacemaking as shown in this pathbreaking work by Leo Driedger and Donald B. Kraybill. As Mennonites were exchanging plows for professions in the 1950s, theological "brokers" were shaping the transformation of Mennonite peace convictions.
"The message suggests that if we remember who we are in God’s call, struggle faithfully to incarnate Christ, patiently wait for the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, and covenant together in common purpose, there will continue to be vitality and renewal in Mennonite peacemaking."—John A. Lapp, Executive Secretary, Mennonite Central Committee
