Highlighted Internship

 
 
Jason Shenk (Peace and Global Studies, Earlham College) made valuable connections between his academic background and his internship with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA.) For Jason, “Learning about traditions of peacemaking in the Muslim faith at Earlham College reminded me in many ways — commitment to justice, emphasis on day-to-day actions — of the Mennonite faith in which I was raised. My internship with the ISNA in the summer of 2005 allowed me to further explore these connections through interviews with Muslims and members of historic peace churches from across the country. Since then, Mennonite Church USA has turned to me a number of times to write about and build on relationships among Mennonites and Muslims in the United States.”
