What is this?

"If you have ended up here you might be wondering what this blog is all about.

The best way to figure that out will be to read the posts and check the pages. Some posts will be short and to the point. Other posts, well, you might not always see how they connect...

My role within MCC Ontario is to get youth and young adults involved in Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), and some of the content will deal specifically with encouraging those connections.

But I want to explore more than just how we can connect with MCC.  This blog is also about getting youth and young adults (YYA) thinking about what it means to be a Christian today in your context. To a large extent, I am interested in what it means to be the Church (including how and why we are the Church).

MCC is not the Church...but in many ways it is part of, or an extension of the Church. So as more YYA get involved with MCC, the Church will be strengthened. And I hope that as YYA strengthen their ties to the Church, MCC will be the better for it as well. MCC Ontario :: This Generation will challenge you to think about who you are in relation to other people in the world...our neighbours near and far.

I welcome your feedback, ideas, and thoughts.
