Extractions: After all they were leaving Canada; a land of promise and freedom where self-determination and human rights were the covenant the Government of Canada had made with religious and economic refugees who had responded to the call to help develop the Canadian West. Nomads of necessity However like many throughout history who have endured bold and arduous treks in search of security, prosperity, and freedom of religion, the Mennonites who came to Canada found both dreams and disillusionment. This solitary group was distinct from both a religious and ethnic point of view. Although the concept of separation of Church and State is a common principle in the current century, it was the most radical demand made by the Mennonites for whom the head of the church (Jesus) is divine whereas the head of the state is a mere human being. Their belief in a higher authority than the law inevitably brought them into conflict with state forces. Their pacifism disallowed them from serving in the military and their forsaking of secular ways in order to live close to the earth in separate communities set them even further part. Their loyalty was to God; they could not swear allegiance to any temporal state.

Extractions: The Mennonite Identity Today half of the 66,000 Manitoba's Mennonites live in Winnipeg. And except for their surnames, most are indistinguishable from the rest of the population. To be a Mennonite is to be in constant debate as to what it means to be Mennonite. Is it a faith or is it an ethnicity? While in Manitoba Mennonites can be thought of as having ethnic qualities, they remain fundamentally a religious group that is bound by a strong belief in living the life of Christ. In Manitoba Mennonites have evolved an ethnicity expressed in their common history, the low German language, food and a rich choral music tradition. Ultimately this faith is what unites Mennonites in all parts of the world. And increasingly their appearance is changing from a white Germanic face found in North America, to people of colour. But their diversity of national origin and skin colour pale when one looks at the diversity of belief that is expressed in Manitoba's relatively homogeneous Mennonite population.

Extractions: The Mennonites are a group of Christian Anabaptist denominations based on the teachings and tradition of Menno Simons . They are one of the peace churches , which hold to a doctrine of non-violence non-resistance and pacifism . They are the modern denominations which present many Anabaptist views. Their core beliefs, deriving from Anabaptist traditions are: Baptism of believers understood as threefold: Baptism by the spirit (internal change of heart), Baptism by water (public demonstration of witness), and baptism by blood (martyrdom and asceticism). Church discipline understood as threefold : Confession of Sins, Absolution of Sin, and Re-admission of Sinner in the church. The Lord's Supper as Memorial, shared by baptised believers within the discipline of the church. One of the earliest expressions of their faith was the Schleitheim Confession , adopted in February 24 . Its seven articles covered: During the sixteenth century, the Mennonites and other Anabaptists were relentlessly persecuted. By the seventeenth century, some of them joined the state church in the

http://history.mennonite.net/

Extractions: Mennonites are a branch of the Christian church, with roots in the radical wing of the 16th century Protestant Reformation . Part of the group known as Anabaptists (because they rebaptized adult believers), the Mennonites took their name from Menno Simons , a Dutch priest who converted to the Anabaptist faith and helped lead it to prominence in Holland by the mid-16th century. Modern day Mennonites number almost 1 million worldwide, with churches in North and South America, Africa, Europe and Asia . Mennonites are known for their emphasis on issues such as peace, justice, simplicity, community, service, and mutual aid In keeping with their spiritual roots, Mennonites still believe in the close textual readings of the Scriptures and a personal spiritual responsibility as the basis of their faith. Radical from the beginning, but later considered conservative in many of their beliefs, Mennonites have come to represent a spectrum of backgrounds and beliefs.

Extractions: KRIM-GR Research Website Mennonite Settlements in the Crimea A separate page has been devoted to the Mennonites who lived in the Crimea for the main reason that there are at present, no church records available for these peoples. I therefore felt that it would be advantageous to present a history of the Mennonites migrations, villages, and the people as a specific source of information for those searching for information on their Mennonite ancestors. A number of links to Mennonite genealogy websites are provided in the Links section of this website. Mennonite books are also listed in the Books section and I hope to be able to provide a page of Mennonite surnames and villages in the future. Many of the Mennonites who lived in the Crimea migrated there from the Molotschna colonies in northern Taurien. If time permits, I plan to also provide a Taurien website as an addition to this one which hopefully will include further links for the Molotschna Mennonites. History of the Mennonite Settlers In 1786, two Mennonites from West Prussia, Jakob Hoeppner and Johann Bartsch had come to Russia in search of a suitable site for the settlement of a large group of their Mennonite Brethren. In1787, Catherine asked these two men to join them on her triumphal tour of the South, which included the Crimea which had just recently been annexed to Russia. These two men chose the first site for their village near Berislav, on the Dnieper River, however, the Russo-Turkish war broke out

Extractions: Weblog Home So London has won the 2012 Olympics. I have mixed feelings. I did not support our bid though I admire the skill with which Seb Coe and his team put the final bid together and presented it. Among my concerns: the likely vast investment and the likelihood that it will mushroom, as public projects of this kind often do. The bid team talk about the wonderful things this will do for sport in Britain. I'd like to contrast this with this nugget that Rob Paterson reports today: A study of Mennonite kids shows how having a life that has activity in it is much better for us than a life where physical activity is a separate program. "Even without gym classes and organized sports, old order Mennonite children are leaner, stronger and fitter than their counterparts in contemporary Canada, a new study suggested Tuesday. The findings suggest that, even in the absence of formal exercise and sports programs, frequent physical activity during the course of everyday activities could be the key to achieving a fit and active life, researchers say. These are the sorts of lessons we can learn from the old order Mennonites, Mark Tremblay, a kinesiology professor at the University of Saskatchewan who led the research, said in an interview.

Extractions: Mennonites are yet another group with a distinctive lifestyle associated with pacifism, total abstention from violence, special dress and social habits. They number about 170,000. The most conservative of the Mennonites are called "Amish." They refuse all modern conveniences. The Mennonite movement began in Germany, was subject to great persecutions, and flourished in America beginning in the seventeenth century. In some areas, particularly in Pennsylvania, the Amish people are known for their German ("Pennsylvania Dutch") dialects, their plain black clothing and their horses and buggies.

Included in it is a lengthy reflection/speech by the former president Vaclav Havel on Jan Hus as an archetype of Czech identity. Havel described Hus' motto, "Truth prevails", as 'the two-word expression of the deepest aspirations & experience of our history'. That is a powerful observation with amazing ramifications for Czech. It seems only a matter of time before that seed-bed bears fruit in this country.

Photo by Jim Bishop This year for the first time, Eastern Mennonite University hosted the Bridgefolk Conference, an annual dialogue between Mennonites and Catholics that began in 1999. Its purpose is to build friendship, said the co-chairs, Abbot John Klassen of Saint John's Benedictine Abbey, and Marlene Kropf, minister of worship for Mennonite Church USA. About 65 participants, mostly lay church members, took part in activities that included attending Mennonite and Catholic church services together in Harrisonburg, Va., and sharing a footwashing service at the conference's conclusion. The informal, grass-roots Bridgefolk parallels a series of high-level ecumenical discussions, which Bridgefolk organizers hope will spread to the local church level.
Calgary & Southern Alberta - Doukhobors, Hutterites, And Mennonites
Three other religious minorities Doukhobors, mennonites, and Hutterites foundmainstream acceptance in southern Alberta more elusive.
http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/calgary/douk.html

Extractions: Doukhobors, Hutterites, and Mennonites The three groups, whom the press and general public continually confused, attracted public disfavour, particularly during and immediately after World War I. As pacifists, the three groups were exempt from military duty. In the confused public mind, moreover, they all spoke German and lived in suspiciously isolated communal settlements. Church groups, service clubs, veterans' associations, and politicians questioned both their loyalty and their opposition to private ownership. Ironically, many venomous anti-Hutterite attacks appearing in the regional press were directed against southern Alberta's Mennonite community. In June 1919, a federal Order-in-Council barred further Hutterite immigration to Canada due to their "... undesirable ... customs, habits, modes of living, and [communal] methods of holding property, and because of their probable inability to become assimilated." The Order was rescinded in 1922, but the underlying animosities that prompted passage of the Order resurfaced during World War II.

http://feefhs.org/FIJ/galiciam.html

Extractions: The historical accounts of cruel persecution unto death suffered by the early Swiss Anabaptists have been well-documented. Seeking escape and refuge, many fled into the Rheinpfalz of German Palantinate. One source puts it this way: "After the Thirty Years' War the Rheinpfalz was in a sorry state. Trees and brush covered much of the fields. Of livestock there was practically none ... The Elector wanted his former peasant land, now reduced to rubble, to be populated again with strong workers." Providential concessions and inducements caused their Rheinpfalz sojourn to prosper, despite some unjust restrictions, leading to an eventual over-abundance of settlers, usually with large families. We quote another historian as follows: "By today's standards the conditions under which the Anabaptists settled in Germany would seem somewhat discriminatory. They were allowed freedom of worship but forbidden to build their own churches, were not allowed to meet in groups larger than twenty members, and were prohibited from doing evangelistic work among their neighbours. Later they were denied the right to live in cities, and marriage required the consent of the government."

Extractions: Resolutions of The Germantown Mennonites; February 18, 1688 This is to the monthly meeting held at Richard Worrell's: If once these slaves (which they say are so wicked and stubborn men,) should join themselves fight for their freedom, and handel their masters and mistresses, as they did handel them before; will these masters and mistresses take the sword at hand and war against these poor slaves, like, as we are able to believe, some will not refuse to do? Or, have these poor negers not as much right to fight for their freedom, as you have to keep them slaves? Now consider well this thing, if it is good or bad. And in case you find it to be good to handel these blacks in that manner, we desire and require you hereby lovingly, that you may inform us herein, which at this time never was done, viz., that Christians have such a liberty to do so. To the end we shall be satisfied on this point, and satisfy likewise our good friends and acquaintances in our native country, to whom it is a terror, or fearful thing, that men should be handelled so in Pennsylvania. This is from our meeting at Germantown, held ye 18th of the 2d month, 1688, to be delivered to the monthly meeting at Richard Worrell's.
