So, I'm not entirely sure how Homeward Path's second ability ({tap}: Each player gains control of all creatures he or she owns) interacts with auras like Mind Control.
I think that because these both apply control-changing effects, which are all applied in the same layer, we go by latest timestamp and the enchanted creature's owner ends up controlling it.
The reason I'm doubting myself is that this leads to Player A controlling an aura that sits there saying "You control enchanted creature" attached to a creature that remains under Player B's control, which just "feels weird" (in this example, Player B is the creature's owner, and someone activated Homeward Path).
That is how it works, though, right? As far as I can tell, all that's going on is that two continuous effects are being applied in the same layer with no dependencies, so timestamps are all that matters.
