Bible
Plautdietsch
De Bibel is a Low German Bible. The New Testament is a revision of Daut Niehe Tastament translated by J.J. Neufeld. The Old Testament was translated by Ed Zacharias, a missionary among the Mennonites in Mexico. The translation is in the Old Colony dialect rather than the Molotschna dialect. However, regardless of the dialogue spoken, research shows that the reader is able to read the text.

Includes 9 pages of maps. Copyright Nov 2003 Kindred Productions.

  Und Wenn Sie Fragen Werden: Ein Doku-Drama der Mennoniten-Erfahrungen in Russland
dvd (German), $24.95
Die Geschicht der Mennoniten in Russland von 1788 bis heute wird durch historisches Bildmaterial, nachgestellte Filmszenen sowie durch Interviews mit noch lebenden Zeitzeugen sehr eindrucksvoll und bewegend dargestellt. Viel Themen, die der Film aufwirft, sind in unserer heutigen Zeit genauso aktuell wie damals. Die Frage, wie christliche Werte und Glaubensuberzeugungen in einem sakularen Umfeld uberzeugend gelebt werden konnen, betrifft uns heute genauso, wie die Mennoniten im damaligen Zarenreich und spater in der Sowjetunion.

Recorded Music
Early German hymns sung in Lutheran, Reformed, Mennonite and other churches in the 1700s and early 1800s. The recording includes 21 German hymns sung to slow tunes. Nine of the hymns come from an 1803 Lutheran hymnal, nine are found in a 1797 Reformed book, and all are found in Mennonite hymnals. All the hymns are still used by several old order Mennonite groups. An informal anonymous old order ensemble sings them on this CD to slow tunes derived from German chorales, ancient folk tunes, or from later tunes of American hymnody. This CD replaces the cassette Gesangbuch Treasures.
