The Mennonites of Manitoba

The Mennonites of Manitoba told the story of a German-speaking group of Dutch farmers from Russia who came in 1874 to the fertile land of Manitoba to create a new life practicing their traditional religion. The documentary was awarded a bronze Telly Award and a Bronze Plaque Award at the Columbus Film and Television Festival.
This Prairie Public Classic documentary was first aired in 1998.

    My Ukraine ancestors also left Europe and came to Sifton Manitoba in the late 1800's following the Canadian government's offer to open the west for the railway. Who better then those who are farmers in the breadbasket of Europe. Strong in faith, family oriented, and land in Canada for $10.00 a quarter section where you had freedom to grow what you wanted and Religious freedom was paramount. I am the third generation Canadian,. My grandfather was the first child born in Canada as they came from Europe with six children and had five more after my grandfather. Only one child left Manitoba that was my grandfather. But the other 12 stayed and opened business, farmed new homesteads, Becoming part of their communities and following the Orthodox faith. This was a great documentary of the modern day Mennonites. I lived in areas of southern now northern Ontario where there are more of the old order. Either group are a real strong part of any community. Thank you.for this documentary.

    There are still a lot of Mennonite churches in Holland, 'Doopsgezind', especially in Frisia where Menno came from himself. The church we went in Overijssel, was built behind a house in the city, a hidden church, later when there was more religious freedom they demolished the house so it now has a nice garden in front of it.

Would have made an interesting book from his perspective for sure. You were probably too young to have interracted with him, I guess I went away to a Quaker boarding school in my teens, and the Quakers definitely were pacifists. Very much involved in service projects as alternatives to the draft and defense forces/ armed services participation during the Vietnam War.

I begun watching this video about Mennonites in Canada and I discovered how they adjusted to progress. I am not a believer. It does not matter. These Mennonites of Canada are really nice people. What I love the most about them is their sense of ``simplicity of life´´. We should all live that way, in a very simple way taking care of people around us and adjusting to everything without changing our essence. Beautiful story.

    As an American of primarily German descendant, I have some personal experience with Mennonites. I was a member of the Holdeman group (mentioned in the video) for a number of years. I also farm on a former Hutterite colony with a 100+ year old post and beam horse and cow barn that’s still standing strong. (look them up too) There are certainly problems in any cultural group, like some people are quick to point out, but in my experience with, and observation of, the Mennonites, is that they are essentially in a balance of a very strict conscience and a hyper intelligent intellect. Most of what they set out to do they do very well. Also the non combatant service is a big part of the young people’s lives.

    I was raised as one. But we are now outside the church and its a horrible thing to lose every person you played with as a child.. Because you're parents went astray. I was put in a public school and i was torn between two worlds.. Most of them lost their farms and it changed the way our church was run. A new one was built from a old carriage/ blacksmith shop on my Grandfathers property after the farms was lost/stolen by his greedy Sister..And Because of all that, alot changed from the old ways and people had to go and get different jobs away from the farm.. It shaped the small community and it eventually died out, here for lack of youths, like i was at the time.. But i have mostly great memories of the time and the people.. And hope everyone is doing well..Many blessings!.

They dress very plainly and modestly, believing in following the Bible having Jesus as their Lord for real.

    The best known Sabbatarian Ana baptist leaders were Oswald Glait and Andreas Fischer, two scholars and theologians who had been priests before they joined the Anabaptist movement. Their positions reveal a comprehensive knowledge of Scripture-their only guide- and also of the Sabbath. The following is a summary of Fischer's understanding of the Sabbath as his opponent Valentine Crautwald presented it. "1. The Ten Commandments of God are ten covenant words in which the external Sabbath is instituted and included. Where the Sabbath is not kept, one trespasses the commandments of God and there remain only eight (sic) covenant words. "2. Moses, the prophets, including the apostles, who are teachers in the New Testament, all teach the Ten Commandments to which also the Sabbath belongs; therefore, one should keep it. "3. In the New Testament it is commanded that the Ten Command ments are .to. be kept; therefore also the Sabbath. "4. Christ works the commandments of God, which is the will of His Father, into believing hearts. He makes known His work, law, and commandment, to which belongs also the Sabbath of Moses, which one should keep. "5. The Sabbath [commandment] is one of the big commandments; there fore, one should keep it. "6. Through faith we establish the law, Romans 3; therefore also the Sabbath. "7. The first and oldest fathers [patriarchs] have kept the commandments of God, before Moses. Therefore, they had also to keep the external Sabbath, otherwise they would not have kept the Ten Commandments of God. . . . For this reason one should keep the Sabbath visibly [eusserlich] in Christendom according to the law. "8. James declares, 'If someone says he keeps the whole law but fails in one point he has become guilty of breaking all of it; he has become a transgressor of the law.' Pray tell, can or may the Sabbath be an exception? "9. Paul repeats the law, but the law includes the Sabbath, which is generally understood; and when the other apostles refer to one or two of the commandments they refer to the tables, the covenant of God. "10. Paul and the apostles held meetings on the Sabbath. "11. The Scriptures speak so often about the Sabbath; if I would have as many texts and passages about Sunday as there are about Sabbath, I would keep Sunday instead of Sabbath. "12. We believe with the Jews that there is but one God [Deut. 6:45], and salvation has come to us from them, and yet we are not Jews, why should we not keep the Sabbath with them? "13. Christ, the apostles, and all early fathers [of the church] have kept holy the Sabbath day. "14. Pope Victor and Emperor Constantine are the first ones who ordered that Sunday should be kept; it is also issued in the Decretal; but God instituted and ordered the [keeping of the] Sabbath. "15. All assemblies of Christians were held on Sabbath for many years after Christ's time. "16. The commandments of God stand and remain forever, Ecclesiastes 12; Baruch 4. Even if all letters would burn up, as the Jews lost the tables long ago, the Ten Commandments remain until the end of the world, because they are the everlasting commandments." 5 (We do not consider all of Fischer's arguments valid. Number 14, for example, is not a true historical statement, and number 16 appeals to Baruch, a book that does not belong to the Protestant canon of Scriptures, but in those days was included in the Bible.) As Seventh-day Adventists, we appreciate these spiritual forebears. They are a part of the people from all the ages who have wanted to be true to God's Word and who have honored His holy Sabbath. But although we are interested in establishing our links with the past, our primary reason for keeping the seventh day as the Sabbath is that it is scriptural. The Bible speaks only of that day as the day of rest and worship. We feel bound to the Word, including the Ten Commandments. We feel bound to honor the day that, since the creation of the world, God has set aside. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Rev. 14:12). www.ministrymagazine.org/archive/1987/01/sabbatarian-anabaptists

    Mennonites were taught Catholicism conflicted with their beliefs and understanding of God and the Bible. They would have been very uncomfortable with your faith. While they do many things well they did not know how to separate their differences in belief with associating with you as a person. Their “live separate from the world” theology runs deep and created a barrier. Historically they broke away from Catholicism and suffered much persecution, even death, and survival meant keeping to themselves. This history created a mistrust and discomfort with outsiders especially Catholics and government. The tragedies and hardships of their beginnings shaped their decisions and interactions with the world for many generations thereafter.

    There are many instances in the Bible where it talks specifically about the women’s role in the family and the church that I was not aware of until recently. As I examined the different views that people currently have on this matter, reading through forums/discussions, I quickly got informed of the various approaches on the issue and noticed that there is generally two primary views, - egalitarian, (equal ministry opportunity for both genders) - complementarian, (Ministry rolls differentiated by gender) I came across a lot of misinterpretation of Gods intended roles of men and women to suit themselves and not be questioned. That has become the norm in our society today as Bible verses that are used to support each of the view points listed above are taken out of context and interpreted in ways that would support the writers viewpoint. Generally I found that more people were focused on gender inequality issue in itself rather then really studying the Scripture and reading through different materials available on the subject so you can better understand the differentiated roles that God gives based by gender. I learned a lot and certainly noticed that this topic has a great deal of contention still, but that isn’t stopping more and more women from getting a degree in theology, becoming pastors and leading great churches, inspiring people and bringing them to find Jesus as their Lord and Savior !

    Human exceptionalism is believing that the human females somehow have a different role than the females among all other animals. God advocates for a natural role. He was making fish, birds, and other animals when he made humans. The human is special, but that doesn't mean he doesn't reproduce like the animals do. The devil, in seeking to destroy people, wants you to believe nesting is somehow slavery (not eternity) when human females do it. I couldn't breed a second generation of chickens with the set of rules we apply to humans. Sending hens to college, insisting hens work cockerel careers and to seek their achievements, having the hens do the crowing instead of the roosters. The flock would be dead in one generation. Should women preach? No. Let them sit on their eggs instead.

    Now and Future Changes. Yes and many modern churches of different denominations seem really messed up and pattern themselves after the world, seeking to entertain rather than to edify. More of a social club where people go to be entertained. I first saw this back in 1996 when I last used to attend church. I quit going because it seemed superficial and shallow. They tought that all you had to do was say the Sinner's prayer, and no evidence of a life change was necessary, no fruit of the Holy Spirit To stay turned to G-d and have G-d be Lord of your life, walking with you on a daily basis, living a clean life was "legalism." Following Biblical precepts was the same: Throwing out any part of it you personally didnt agree with was a-Ok in an attempt to appear relevant and cool. Such an approach leads to staying stuck in double mindedness and inevitable falling away. But G-d is faithful and will bring us back if we turn back to Him. Feminism is purely a product of modern pop culture, a social construct if you will; an idol and ideology that has wreaked havoc with our lives because it disrespects the natural order of things
