BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE CONFERENCE 
`EVANGELISM AND THE PEACE 
WITNESS OF THE CHURCH' TO BRING BAPTISTS 
AND MENNONITES TOGETHER 
 "Evangelism and the Peace Witness of the 
Church," a conference developed by the Baptist World 
Alliance, will bring together Baptists and Mennonites to 
continue a dialog begun a decade ago on issues 
surrounding peace, evangelism and mission.
 The conference is set for Jan. 10-12, 2002 at 
American Baptist-related Eastern College in St. Davids, Pa.  
Among prominent American Baptists involved in the 
planning and program are Drs. Robert Roberts, John 
Sundquist, Wallace Charles Smith, Donna Hailson, Richard 
Pierard, Ian Chapman, Ken Sehested and William 
Brackney.
 According to Tony Cupit, Baptist World Alliance 
director of Evangelism and Education, "We hope to learn 
something about the Mennonite emphasis on issues to do 
with peace and hopefully contribute something to the 
Mennonites, at their request, about mission and 
evangelism."

Education, 405 North Washington St., Falls Church, VA
