Third Way Cafe
Third Way Café was created to provide information, both history and present-day thinking from an Anabaptist viewpoint – particularly that of Mennonites. Third Way Café offers more than 3,000 pages of Mennonite information, audio files, video clips, essays, reviews, scriptures and conversation.
Third Way Café was launched in 1998, with a goal of “helping the church be relevant and effective in carrying out its mission using the contemporary media of the age.”
Jerry L. Holsopple, (M.Div and Ph.D), a producer at Mennonite Media (now Third Way Media) at the time, and now a professor in the visual and communications arts department at Eastern Mennonite University, led much of the early development work for Third Way Café (and proposed the name), including writing code from scratch – in the days before so many available templates.
Third Way Media staff eventually decided on the following core purpose for Third Way: -
To inject Anabaptist Christian perspectives into society’s marketplace of ideas, providing a prophetic witness at the intersections of faith and contemporary issues
-
To present content from the bias that following Jesus Christ impacts all of life and that following is often an alternative to current culture
-
That Third Way not be a “corporate” or institutional site, but rather a ministry site with information and inspiration for the general public that interests people in Mennonite beliefs and congregations.
