After earning an MDiv from AMBS, she completed her PhD in New Testament from Vanderbilt University School of Religion in 1993. During her service at AMBS, Mary thoroughly enjoyed working with students in the classroom, as an adviser, and in more informal relationships. She led the Institute of Mennonite Studies for twenty-one years, working with numerous publications and many study conferences. She co-founded Vision: A Journal for Theology and the Church with leaders at Canadian Mennonite University and served as the AMBS editor for the journal's first two decades. She has also been involved with Bridgefolk, a movement for Catholic and Mennonite dialogue, and the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery. She continues to work with confessional Bible study in various settings and happily lives, writes, and worships in a vibrant community called South Central Elkhart where part of the charm is being part of a twenty percent minority in a highly diversified neighborhood.
