Mennonite Brethren Historical Study Project Awarded
Anicka Fast, a first-year student in Mission Studies at Boston University, received the Mennonite Brethren Historical Commission’s study grant for 2015. Before moving from Montreal to Boston, Anicka worked with the Mennonite Central Committee in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for three years. Anicka’s research interests include intercultural reconciliation and power balancing in the global church, Anabaptist missiology and ecclesiology, the history of the missionary encounter in the DR Congo, and African political theology. Her grant is in the amount of $2,865, and will be disbursed in May 2016. Anicka’s project title is, “Identity and Power in Mission: A Study of Cross-Cultural Relationships among North American and Congolese Mennonites.”
