Description
This series is a survey of the Mennonite experience from the time of the movement's consolidation under the ministry of Menno Simons to the present time. The main focus of the series is to explore the Mennonite experience in Russia - the struggles within the movement itself and with the outside world. Among the issues explored are the development of Mennonite piety and spirituality, the Old Church / Brethren split of 1860, the development of four-part singing, the question of non-resistance, the migrations to and from Russia, and the experience of being a persecuted church under the Stalinist / Soviet regime. Lectures include:
- Menno Simons and the New Creation in Christ
- Persecution, Migration, and Menno Simon's Legacy
