Time after time, the Spirit in the form of a dove announces the coming of God to us. As Mennonites,we recognize the centrality of Christ as proclaimed in Scripture, revealed through the Holy Spirit and discerned in Christian community. The dove represents Jesus and the missional calling to joyfully follow Jesus into the world. This symbol reflects these basic understandings.
