Our Voice in the Lancaster Mennonite Conference

In the spring of 2008, a group of five people from Pilgrims was identified to continue raising our voice for change in the Lancaster Mennonite Conference. This group identifies changes and communicates our congregations concerns to the conference on a regular basis in the areas of governance, communication and decision-making processes, and the inclusion of women at all levels of leadership.

The team includes Rebecca Pereverzoff (chair), Tina Mast Burnett, Barry Kreider, Ed Martin, and Jan Landes. This team meets regularly, six times a year, to keep the dialogue alive between the conference and our congregation.
