| On a May Sunday in 1927, progress and tradition collided at the
Groffdale Old Order Mennonite Church in eastern Pennsylvania when half
the congregation shunned the cup of wine offered by Bishop Moses
Horning. The boycott of this holiest of Mennonite customs was indirect
response to Horning's decision to endorse the automobile after years of
debate within the church. The resulting schism over opposing views of
technology produced the group known as the Wenger Mennonites. In
this first-of-its-kind study of the Wenger Mennonites, Kraybill and
Hurd-a sociologist and an anthropologist-use cultural analysis to
interpret the Wengers both in and outside Pennsylvania. They
systematically compare the Wengers with other Mennonite groups as well
as with the Amish, showing how relationships with these other groups
have had powerful impact on shaping the identity of the Wenger
Mennonites in the Anabaptist world. Copyright 2006 Pennsylvania
