With the Spirit's Daring offers an introduction for reaching out in friendship across denominational boundaries. Because of the Spirit's daring work in our time inviting Christians to join each other in a new unity of prayer, friendship, service and witness, an extraordinary opportunity has arisen to work together to fulfill Jesus' prayer for his followers "that they may be one, as we are one" (John 17:11).

Designed by a team of Mennonite Church USA pastors and leaders, this new interchurch resource includes sections on a biblical foundation, first steps, a guide, additional resources and an evaluation.
