He provided leadership to Mellnonite World Conference, Menllonite Central Committee, Goshen Biblical Seminary, and other churcl~organizations. With Bender's guidance these insti- tutions became lnodernizing agents, helping &lennonites navigate the unsettling changes they encountered in the 20th century.
