MennoLink Books and Music

The demise of the General Conference in the summer of 2002 as an active entity became the impetus for this book of reflections, thanksgiving and challenge. The fourteen essays look at the early beginnings, the migration from Russia to the US and Canada, music in the churches, publishing, mission efforts, educational endeavors, and how the church is positioning itself for the future.

A coffee table type book, many black and white pictures help to tell the story.

In the four decades covered, American Mennonites nearly doubled in membership. Their encounters with Protestant revivalism, organizational techniques, modernism, and World War I affected each group differently. Volume 3.

Paul Toews examines ways progressive Mennonites have slowed their absorption into American culture through creating institutional systems, refining and rearticulating ideologies, building ecumenical alliances, and developing a service and missional activism. Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that permit economic integration and social isolation.

An in-depth look at how Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4.
