Peace of the City

A podcast by Manhattan Mennonite Fellowship, a small, welcoming peace church in New York City. We gather every Sunday at 4 PM at the 15th Street Friends Meeting House, seeking to live out our call to peacebuilding and nonviolence through worship and witness. This podcast features sermons and sacred stories shared within our community—reflections grounded in scripture, shaped by peace theology, and rooted in the everyday work of living faithfully. Whether you're nearby or far away, we’re grateful to share this journey with you as we continue seeking the peace of the city.
