Reading the Mennonite press these days suggests the level of anxiety is pretty high for many people.
Anxiety is normal to life and to systems of people, including the church.
Usually a precipitating incident triggers our heightened anxieties. But the incident or presenting issue is seldom the real problem. Beneath our anxieties often lies some deeper concern or unresolved matter that needs attention. The anxiety may originate in our family or work setting. Times of change such as we are experiencing in the Mennonite Church are bound to create some anxiety.
