Frisco Conference Center, Clinton, Oklahoma
March 30-April 2, 2006
This conference will celebrate and review the historical relationship and interconnected faith stories of the native tribes and the very first Mennonite mission begun 120 years ago when Mennonites were called as educators to the Darlington Agency in Oklahoma. The purpose of the conference is to explore connections and expressions of faith through time and culture, using storytelling and other presentations, arts, music and worship.
The Historical Committee of Mennonite Church USA, sponsor of the conference, seeks to nurture a relationship that honors the past, acknowledges the need for healing wounds and contributes to the mission of the church.
