MWC is offering a space where national churches can meet in mutuality. If MWC doesn't create the space, a few other organizations will need to do it. But as MWC becomes more involved in this kind of activity, it enters a potentially competitive relationship with other organizations. Yet they are MWCs important allies, and MWC is theirs. So these relationships will grow increasingly complex.
Every body needs some bones.
We can now share life globally as well as locally. But we are relatively new at that. Only after we've done it for a while will we be in danger of bureaucratizing the way we do things and MWC is a gift overloading ourselves with organization. Much Anabaptist-Mennonite theology to the has led to our thinking and behaving as congregationalists. In fact, we have a strong impulse against centralization and the possible loss of our local church's independence.
