ARE YOU AT PEACE WITH GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOR? CULTURAL RESOURCES AND RESTRAINTS ON MENNONITE ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Abstract

Are you at peace with God and your neighbor? This simple question, as it relates to a life of business, may seem curious to most entrepreneurs and probably even irrelevant. However, for the Mennonite entrepreneur this question is very relevant to their faith, to their relationship with their ethnic community, and to their daily lives as business people. This question probes at the hearts of Mennonite entrepreneurs who struggle to reconcile the dilemma of faith, culture, and economic opportunity.
