Download or read book In Search of Promised Lands written by Samuel J. Steiner and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide-ranging story of Mennonite migration, theological diversity, and interaction with other Christian streams is distilled in this engaging volume, which tracks the history of Ontario Mennonites. Author Samuel J. Steiner writes that Ontario Mennonites and Amish are among the most diverse in the world—in their historical migrations and cultural roots, in their theological responses to the world around them, and in the various ways they have pursued their personal and communal salvation. In Search of Promised Lands describes the emergence and evolution of today’s 30-plus streams of Ontarians who have identified themselves as Mennonite or Amish from their arrival in Canada to the last decade. In Search of Promised Lands also considers how various Mennonite groups have adapted to or resisted evangelical fundamentalism and mainline Protestantism, and it identifies the nineteenth- and twentieth-century shifts toward personal salvation and away from submission to the church community. Volume 48 in the Studies in Anabaptist and Mennonite History series. Find out more about Ontario Mennonite and Amish history at the author’s blog.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Between 1862 and 1878 a group of Amish ministers and lay people gathered annually to discuss differences in religious practices that had emerged within their scattered congregations. Known as the Dienerversammlungen - or ministers' meetings - these annual conferences proved to be a pivotal moment in the history of the Amish and Mennonite churches. The goal of the Dienerversammlungen had been to maintain unity within the fellowship amidst the many vexing issues that threatened to divide the group. By the end of the 1860s, however, the lines dividing the more progressive group (eventually to become known as the 'Amish Mennonites') from the more conservative group (the 'Old Order Amish') had become painfully clear."--Back cover.
