"The award-winning film, Silent Light, is a wonderful, profound and moving film about the spiritual crisis of a Mennonite farmer in Mexico who is having an affair. Filmed entirely in a Mennonite community and using only Mennonite non-actors, Silent Light is a slow-paced, beautiful and sensitive portrayal of Mennonite life in Mexico." — Vic Thiessen

Writing over 20 years ago, Gerhard Lohfink challenges the church to grow into a “divine contrast-society.” He continues by saying, “What is meant is not a church without conflicts, but a church in which conflicts are settled in ways different from the rest of society.” This is a vision that I share, and which has been central to the development of Bridge Builders over the last 11 years. (From the Foreward by Alastair McKay, Director of Bridge Builders Bridge Builders Annual Report 2005-2006)
