Lecture: Faith, Family and Migration:

Faith, Family and Migration: The Old Colony Mennonite Experience

Nov 19 at 7:00 p.m.
Glencoe Presbyterian Church, Glencoe, Ontario

This talk will guide attendees through centuries of faith, migration, and cultural identity, offering insights into how various Mennonite and Amish groups emerged, each with distinct beliefs, customs, and approaches to community life. Whether you’re curious about the theological roots of Anabaptism, the historical pressures that led to Mennonite migrations, or the differences between Old Colony, Conservative, and Progressive Mennonite communities (and how the Amish fit into this tapestry), there will be something here for everyone.

The presentation is grounded in historical research and delivered with respect for the simple and deeply intentional lives these communities choose to live. It’s both informative and personal, especially as it touches on themes from the recently published book, Not My Kind of Mennonite—a reflective and honest account of life in the Old Colony Mennonite tradition.
