- **Event Name**: Anabaptist Faith, Alternative & Military Service: A Panel Discussion
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 May, 2025 at 02:30 pm – Sat, 17 May, 2025 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Though a historic peace church, Anabaptists in different time and places have wrestled with the meaning of service during wartime. They may choose alternative service in times of peace or war. Without a draft in the United States alternative service or military service has become a choice for all Americans. You are invited to hear the stories of those that have struggled with their choices at the Anabaptist Faith, Alternative &amp; Military Service panel at Zion Mennonite Church on May 17, 2025, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. This program is part of the Mennonite Heritage Center’s programming commemorating 500 years of Anabaptism.

The panelist’s moderators include Glen Miller, Vietnam War veteran and newer Mennonite attending Salford Mennonite, as well as Scott Hutchinson a United Church of Christ minister and lifelong peace activist and poet with experience in El Salvador. They will be joined by Joe Landis and Eldon Miller whose alternative service during college transformed the direction of their lives. Adding a historical perspective will be Joel Alderfer, Mennonite Heritage Center Collections Manager, who has conducted research on the role of alternative service versus military service in Mennonite life.  

This in-person event is free and open to the public. No registration required.
