\u201cLiving into our post-pandemic times has meant facing bravely and imaginatively a whole new set of disorientations and disruptions,\u201d Huxman said. \u201c\u2026 And yet, the five-alarm fires we were putting out most days of the pandemic years taught us some valuable lessons about resilience and restoration, compassion and creativity, and caring for self, others and community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mennonite Higher Education Conference is sponsored by the Marpeck Fund<\/a>, which provides grants to foster collaboration between Mennonite institutions of higher education.<\/em> Everence Federal Credit Union and the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding also sponsored the event.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
