Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mennonites, like many smaller immigrant religious groups, initially lived on the margins of North American society. The twentieth century brought them into the economic and cultural mainstream. That adaptation is the subject of the eleven essays and autobiographies of Bridging Troubled Waters. The essays are written by notable Mennonite scholars -- John H. Redekop, Ted Regehr, Katie Funk Wiebe, and others. The autobiographies by David Ewert, Waldo Hiebert, and J.B. Toews sparkle with insight into the transitions they and their people navigated during these momentous decades (1940-1960).

Download or read book The Work of Their Hands written by Gloria L. Neufeld Redekop and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impelled by a call to share their gifts through service, Russian Mennonite women immigrating to Canada organized their own church societies (Vereine) as avenues of mission and spiritual strengthening. For women who were restricted from leadership positions within the church, these societies became the primary avenue of church involvement. Through them they contributed vast amounts of energy, time and financial resources to the mission activity of the church. The societies thus became a context in which women could speak, pray and creatively give expression to their own understanding of the biblical message. Using primary sources such as reports, letters, minutes, etc., as well as society histories, interviews and survey data, Redekop charts the development of these societies, from the establishment of the earliest ones in the 1870s to their flowering in the fifties and sixties and their decline in the eighties and nineties. The Work of Their Hands elucidates the context in which Mennonite women lived their identity as Christian women, one considered appropriate by themselves and the institutional church. It also shows how changes to the societies, including declining membership and a shift in their primary focus from sewing and baking to one of spiritual fellowship, reflect the changing roles of women within the church, the home and the wider society. The Work of Their Hands is an important book in the history of Mennonite women’s spirituality and will be a valuable resource for religious studies, women’s studies and Canadian history.

Download or read book Down Clearbrook Road written by Anne Konrad and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Alberta, a young Mennonite girl arrives in BC, a"promised land of fruit and relatives. The fruit, it turns out, needs pickers and relatives want kids to work. Even her imagined fabulous "States" is across a border. Her parents buy a farm on Clearbrook Road and she's in a village where everyone attends church and knows things. Pastures with huge stumps turn into berry patches and farmyards grow chicken barns. There's a Fraser River flood, a death in her school. She makes new friends at the MEI high school. She keeps a five year journal, champions justice and rebels against female/male stereotypes. She discovers roller skating, group dating and the secular world. For the Mennonite village it is a time of creeping modernity where kids explore choices and parens are consumed with relief work with post WWII refugees arriving from Europe. Her parents were refugees from Soviet Russia. The many photographs in the book, taken by amateurs with inexpensive cameras (mostly from family albums) reflect the late 1940s and early 1950s where teenage views and the community too were often still emerging.
