Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) will welcome biblical scholar Dr. Shayna Sheinfeld to campus for this year's J.J. Thiessen Lecture Series, inviting the CMU community to consider what stories of resistance in scripture might have to say about living faithfully in the present.

The series, titled "Resistance in Scripture and Society," will focus on women in scripture and other marginalized groups who challenged systems of power, examining what resistance looks like and how it varies between individuals and communities.

Recognizing Jesus

This month on Sunday at CMU, we're re-airing a series from Isaac Kuhl-Schlegel, Career and Work-Integrated Learning Advisor at CMU. In his role, he helps students explore their futures and vocations through work-integrated learning. Isaac is also a CMU alumnus who studied relational theology and then completed a Master of Theological Studies in Toronto. In these meditations, he reflects on what it takes for us to recognize Jesus in our lives: what makes it hard, what's at risk, and how love compels us to do it anyway.
