ISGA Receives Schowalter Grant for Translation Projects

Recently the ISGA received a $20,000 grant from the Schowalter Foundation to translate three works of significance to global Anabaptism into four different languages—Spanish, French, Amharic, and either Hindi or Bahasa Indonesia.

Mennonite World Conference expressed an interest in offering the following titles to their member churches, and the ISGA agreed to secure the funding and organize the translation.

• Life Together in the Spirit
• Bearing Witness: Stories of Martyrdom and Costly Discipleship
• Global Anabaptist Profile: Belief and Practice in 24 Mennonite World Conference Churches

Spanish and French, along with English, are official languages of MWC, and Amharic is the language spoken by MWC’s largest member conference, the Meserete Kristos Church of Ethiopia.

Once completed the translated works will be available for download on Mennonite World Conference’s website.
