Difference and Disagreement: Lessons from scripture and a tradition of peacebuilding
This month on Sunday at CMU, we are hearing from Valerie Smith, Associate Registrar for Graduate Studies at CMU. She was previously Co-Director of CMU's Canadian School of Peacebuilding for its first 10 years, and co-edited the book, Voices of Harmony and Dissent, a collection of writing by peacebuilders who were instructors at the school. Valerie is also an alumna of Canadian Mennonite Bible College, a predecessor of CMU, and holds a Master of Divinity from Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. In this series rebroadcast, she explores themes of difference and disagreement through lessons from scripture and traditions of peacebuilding.

Alumni in their own words - Marnie Klassen (CMU '21)
Where has your life taken you since you left CMU?
After graduating I very quickly got a job doing communications and admin support with A Rocha Manitoba, a Christian nature conservation organization. I was eager to explore volunteer and service opportunities elsewhere, and through some encouragement I applied and was accepted to the worker program at Romero House in Toronto. Taking this step felt so big for me, in a wonderful way. In the one-year term, I lived and worked with refugee claimants in Toronto's west end. I was the volunteer coordinator for the organization, which had me managing a team of over 140 volunteers, and was a settlement case worker for several claimant families. I learned a lot about the refugee claimant system in Canada, and a lot about interfaith and intercultural relationships. During my time in Toronto, I made connections at Eglinton Saint George United Church and ended up getting a job with that congregation as the Growth Initiatives Project Coordinator, which meant I was coordinating and running food justice-based events and programs through the church. All during this time I began freelance writing and preaching for organizations and churches, mostly exploring the themes of faith and climate. When the contract at the church came to an end, I decided to move back to Winnipeg and focus on developing a podcast called 'The Schism Between Us', which explores religious polarization in Canada, particularly within the Mennonite community. I've also recently taken on work as communications assistant for a worship resource hub called "Together in Worship."
