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.

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!.

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

I grew up in Manitoba in the 50's and 60's. My family was German too as were the Mennonites but we were Catholic and they were "Mennonites" and although they spoke German they never mixed with us post-war German immigrants socially. They were very stand-off-ish. They may have been close to their Jesus but not so much to people of another faith or ethnicity.

[@maryeastman489]

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.

its unfortunate that steinbach is no longer a mennonite city. they have become a secular city.

Children need their mothers NOT care providers. Children NEED their mom & dad under 1 roof, NOT a village. It's ashame 'a career' is more important to most woman than the well being of the children...in doubt, look around, society didn't have its current issues when kids knew their parents and had their parents esp moms attention, as the song goes Money CAN'T buy you love...or family or mental health or or or And parents weren't drain from a 'career', now a days they get off work they just want entertainment and drugs and booze Kids being raised by strangers and media is NO childhood

[@margyeoman3564]

Truth! But I know that so many woman from the 60's and 70's would rather have stayed home but were pushed to work to meet expenses in a changing world and you can definitely blame society and feminism and the pushing of modernism and demands for 'progress' for that. It so ruined womanhood and families . It also raised woman's pride and took away their love for their husbands. Instead they judge disrespect and criticize them.

30:38 TO BE A MENNONITE DOES NOT AT ALL MEAN TO "LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE" AT ALL!!!!!!!!! IT MEANS TO OPEN YOUR NEW TESTAMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE , READ IT AND FOLLOW THE WORD OF CHRIST instead of following what you are TOLD to believe.... by the world and by religious churches WHO REPLACE THE BIBLE WITH THEIR OWN NON- BILBICAL, NON CHRISTIAN DOGMAS

[@cutiedoggy475]

I wonder if the gov ever fucks with them, like taking their land, or not allowing farming ect

[@margyeoman3564]

Some packed up and moved to Mexico and South America. Eastern Canada I think. When the government tried to make inroads into their communities by way of education of children and demanding they follow mainstream culture, they left. Some did not stay as honest or ordered under Spanish influence.

The Bible says Christians will be persecuted. It's what happens.

[@dwc0]

The Mennonites' hard work ethic always paid dividends. By working harder and having more than others, especially in Russia, the communists were driven to hated of the perceived inequality and sought to destroy a way of life that made them look bad and generated things they wanted to take for themsleves.

[@justinawoelke6528]

The Bible says women should not be preachers. First Corinthians chapter 11 King James Version teach that woman should not go without covering her head

[@taliasya2273]

I wonder how you feel about women of other cultures and religions covering their heads, usually in respect for whatever name they give God in their religion.

[@margyeoman3564]

The husband is a covering for the woman, and her hair signifies that. That hoppy little 'pastor' is way out in left field and an abomination to Godly order, and no pastor at all.
