The Anabaptist-Mennonite Scholars Network exists to foster
networking among scholars who identify themselves as either
"Anabaptist" or "Mennonite".

With over 300 members, the Network includes professors, graduate students,pastors, church agency employees and others primarily in the fields of theology, Bible, church
history and religious studies but also in humanities, professional
disciplines, social and natural sciences.
Rationale
- The Anabaptist-Mennonite notion of "hermeneutic community"
supports the need for theological conversations both between scholars
and between scholars and the broader church.
- Informal networking between scholars often leaves out those not
working within Mennonite institutions or living outside of communities
with a Mennonite church, or who are minorities within our churches.
- The larger church needs an accessible resource listing of scholars.
- Mentors and advisors are needed for younger scholars who desire this
contact
Strategies
- Maintain a database of members. All members are required to fill out
a Scholar Information Form which includes education, interests,
publications, etc. The database is maintained by the Network and
questions regarding its use should be directed to the address below.
Some members have agreed to make some of their information available
to other members on the web.
- Publish two newsletters per year. Newsletters include discussion and
brief essays, announcements of upcoming conferences, job openings,
publication notes.
- Organize occasional events. (Note: the hosting of the annual
Mennonite Scholars and Friends reception and forum at the AAR/SBL is
done jointly by the Institute of Mennonite Studies and the Toronto
Mennonite Theological Centre.)
Membership is open to anyone who considers who considers him/herself an
"Anabaptist-Mennonite Scholar" and who pays an annual membership
fee. 1 year: $25 (CDN/US); 3 years: $65 (CDN/US).
Fees for graduate students have been waived thanks to a grant from the Faculty Calling Project of the Mennonite Education Agency.
The Anabaptist-Mennonite Scholars Network is a program of the Toronto Mennonite Theological Centre which is
owned and administered by Conrad Grebel University
College, Waterloo, Ontario. The Institute of
Mennonite Studies, Elkhart, Indiana, is a co-sponsor of the Network.
An advisory committee oversees the program of the Network and the work of
the coordinator, Ryan Schellenberg.
