Download or read book Mennonites in Illinois written by Willard H. Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2001-10-03 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of all branches of Mennonites (including the Amish) from their first arrival in the state of Illinois around 1830 to the present. It deals briefly with Mennonite origins in Europe in the 16th century, points out how the Amish split off from the Mennonites in the 1690s, and depicts Mennonite-Amish migrations to America, especially those who came in the 19th century and settled in Illinois. The work portrays the divisions that developed, mostly after the Civil War, and how the story became more complex. It describes the effect of the AwakeningÓ and the influence of Fundamentalism and other forces on the Illinois Mennonites, including the pressures toward American acculturation. The author points out also the significant trend toward cooperation and unity in recent decades, especially among the (Old) Mennonites and the General Conference Mennonites. Smith is uniquely qualified to write this book. He is a native of Illinois with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the customs and beliefs of Illinois Mennonites. His family was among the early Mennonite settlers in the state, and active in the spiritual life of their community. Smith himself has studied and thought history for many years, has written many historical articles, and is the author or several books. As a professor at Goshen College, he had the support of other Mennonite historians and ready access to library and archival material relating to Illinois Mennonites.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Bethel Mennonite Church, 1947-1972 To all of the above sources I am deeply indebted. To all who gave their time for reflection or for reading the manuscript, I say Thank you. To the members of the Historical Committee, to Pastor Bartel, and to the many who gave their support with ex pressions of interest and encouragement I am most grateful. To Raymond Harnly, for supplying several of the photographs, I am also grateful. To Mrs. Esther Whitely, my colleague at Millersville, I wish to express my thanks for her most helpful assistance in editing the manuscript. A special word of appreciation is extended to Dr. Solomon E. Yoder, the sole surviving member of the original local planning committee, and therefore, in a sense, the patriarch of the congregation. Although, until recently, only an associate member, Dr. Yoder has been a moving spirit, not only as a capable Sunday School teacher, but as a faithful member who has been serv ing the congregation in innumerable ways. His knowledge of the early years and his financial assistance in the publication of this history is deeply appreciated.

Download or read book Daily Demonstrators written by Tobin Miller Shearer and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mennonites, with their long tradition of peaceful protest and commitment to equality, were castigated by the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. for not showing up on the streets to support the civil rights movement. Daily Demonstrators shows how the civil rights movement played out in Mennonite homes and churches from the 1940s through the 1960s. In the first book to bring together Mennonite religious history and civil rights movement history, Tobin Miller Shearer discusses how the civil rights movement challenged Mennonites to explore whether they, within their own church, were truly as committed to racial tolerance and equality as they might like to believe. Shearer shows the surprising role of children in overcoming the racial stereotypes of white adults. Reflecting the transformation taking place in the nation as a whole, Mennonites had to go through their own civil rights struggle before they came to accept interracial marriages and integrated congregations. Based on oral history interviews, photographs, letters, minutes, diaries, and journals of white and African-American Mennonites, this fascinating book further illuminates the role of race in modern American religion.
