Mennonite Disaster Service has appointed a new executive director.

MDS announced Monday that Reynold Friesen, the current director of alumni, church, and donor relations at Canadian Mennonite University, will enter this new role early next year.

Friesen will replace Ross Penner, who has held the position for over a decade and will retire in March 2026.

"I’m excited to be part of an organization which has a practical approach to living out faith," said Friesen.

The Mennonite Heritage Centre Gallery’s community gallery is filled with watercolours depicting 500 years of Anabaptist history these days – a history containing celebration and innovation alongside hardship and persecution. 

After talking up the prospect of cross-party collaboration in the House of Commons, Liberal and Conservative MPs wasted little time after Parliament resumed Monday before reverting to partisan attacks over housing and the cost of living.

The tone was set early Monday afternoon, when the first-ever question period exchange between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre began cordially before turning belligerent.

James 3:13

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
