Iconoclasm 2024
Mennonite Heritage Center
History Conference
November 7-9, 2024
Harleysville, PA
The theme for the 2024 Anabaptist/Mennonite History Conference is Iconoclasm. This theme emerges as a way to mark the 500th anniversary of the Iconoclasm of Zurich. However, it goes beyond a historical event to create a pathway to explore iconoclasm—literal and metaphorical—in Anabaptist/Mennonite history. Probing our history for moments where sacred objects or ideas faced destruction presents an opportunity to reflect on the echoes of the past in the present. The Program Committee seeks proposals that think creatively about the impact of iconoclasm on thought and practice in Anabaptist/Mennonite history.
