A Mennonite Woman: Exploring Spiritual Life and Identity


April 1, 2010

Dawn Ruth Nelson is a Mennonite Pastor and Spiritual Director who has written a reflection on her spiritual journey as it intersects with the legacy of her Mennonite grandmother, her experience as a peace worker in Ireland, and her own everyday life.

"Nelson’s search leads from her grandmother’s life in Mennonite community, through peace work in Ireland and engagement with the Roman Catholic tradition, and finally to the essential inner/outer balance of the Anabaptist spiritual tradition—a response of discipleship made possible by the spiritual connection to the living vine, Jesus Christ." —C. Arnold Snyder, Professor of History, Conrad Grebel University College, Waterloo, Ontario

"Although Nelson’s six suggestions for contemporary spirituality are focused on Mennonite tradition and experience, their transforming power make them applicable for anyone desiring Christian formation." —Joann Wolski Conn, Professor of Christian Spirituality, Neumann University

"You can live a long time in a spiritual tradition without seeing it clearly, which makes it hard to either claim its gifts or compensate for its weaknesses. This book helps readers do both." —Rachel Miller Jacobs, Spiritual Director; Worship Resources Coordinator, Leader magazine
