Gerald Mast, a professor at Bluffton University in Ohio, will deliver this year's C. Henry Smith peace lecture. (N.b.: he will deliver a slightly expanded version of this lecture at 7:30 PM the same day.) Gerald describes his lecture as follows: "Throughout the twentieth century evangelical visions of evangelism and salvation have competed with Anabaptist visions of nonresistance and peacemaking for the devotion of peace church communities such as Mennonites and Brethren. While some have assumed that evangelicalism is the enemy of pacifist convictions, others have assumed that these theological traditions can and should be integrated. The lecture explores the deep history of tension between evangelical soteriology and Anabaptist ethics, including Reformation era debates as well as a little known series of conferences at Malone College in 1970's between World Council of Churches leaders and members of the National Association of Evangelicals attended by Mennonite leaders William Klassen and John Howard Yoder. Using a Pauline rhetoric of assembly, the lecture poses evangelical faith and peace church practices as gifts whose solidarity rests on a social vision of justification: The work of Jesus Christ reconciles us with both God and our enemies through no effort or merit of our own."
