It began as a publication for the young people of the Mennonite Brethren church, in response to a resolution of the Mennonite Brethren General Conference the fall of 1936. Editor P. H. Berg clearly verbalized this intention in his initial editorial, "The purpose and aim of this paper is to aid in bringing Christian youth into closer fellowship with God, to deepen its inner life and train for Christian service and leadership. Another aim is to acquaint our Christian youth with the functioning of our church and conferences." The first issue appeared in April of 1937. Described as "a Christian monthly journal, English organ of the Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Church of North America, devoted to the interests of the young people and the cause of Christ in general," The Christian Leader was published by the Mennonite Brethren Publishing House at Hillsboro, Kansas, under the direction of the Youth Committee. Subscription price began at 5 cents per copy or 50 cents per year. The early issues measured 6 by 9 inches, and contained 32 pages. In March 1943 the format was changed to a publication of 16 pages, measuring 8 Y2 by 11 inches. After nine years of publication, The Christian Leader began to appear semi-monthly, beginning with the April 1946 issue. At this time, an elevated subscription price of $1.50 per year was announced. Renewed appeals were made to "every Christian Fellowship organization to sponsor subscription campaigns and introduce this paper to the many homes who do not read it now." The Christian Leader continued under the management of the Youth Committee until 1951, when it became the official organ ofthe General Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. As the official General Conference periodical, it seemed that this publication might also serve to meet the needs of the Canadian constituency. As time passed, however, it became apparent that there was only limited appeal to the Canadian Mennonite Brethren and limited coverage of news pertaining to Canadian MB congregations and ministries. In January of 1994 The Christian Leader returned to a monthly publication schedule. The current subscription rate within the United States is $18.00 a year, $30.00 for Canada, and $50.00 for all other countries. Eight individuals have served as editor of The Christian Leader. Orlando Harms served a term of twenty-two years. Wally Kroeker served nineteen years, and J. W. Vogt and Don Ratzlaff each served thirteen years. The chronology is as follows: Peter H. Berg, editor, April 1937- December 1939 J. W. Vogt, editor, January 1940-September 1953 P. H. Berg, acting editor, October 1953- January 1954 Orlando Harms, editor, January 1954- September 1976 Wally Kroeker, editor, September 1976- August 1985 Don Ratzlaff, editor, August 1985- August 1998 Connie Faber, interim editor, September 1998-November 1998 Carmen Andres, editor, December 1998-May 2003 Connie Faber, interim editor, June 2003-May 2004 Connie Faber, editor, June 2004-present The current editor, Connie Faber, began as assistant editor under Don Ratzlaff, continued as assistant editor under Carmen Andres, and became associate editor of The Christian Leader in June 1999. Myra Holmes, the current assistant editor, began in that role September 2005. The Christian Leader contains devotional articles, missionary reports, peace and voluntary service notes, educational articles, and congregational reports from across the United States and Canada. Inspired by the value of previous indices to the Mennonitische Rundschau and the Zionsbote, this index was created in order to make the information contained in these reports and articles accessible to those researchers of Mennonite Brethren life, history and thought. This volume contains a subject and author index for those issues of The Christian Leader published from 1952 through 1959. The index attempts as much as possible to follow the subject categories suggested by the material itself This has given rise to numerous internal categories. Cross-references are used only for clarification. Precise subject headings were assigned by the late Georgina Johnson, archivist/librarian of Tabor College. Data entry was completed by Lois Hiebert. The center is most grateful to Lois Hiebert for her service in the completion of this project. Peggy Goertzen, Director Center for Mennonite Brethren Studies Tabor College Hillsboro, Kansas 67063 December 2008 11 GUIDELINES FOR USE OF INDEX GENERAL ARRANGEMENT The data under general subject headings is arranged alphabetically in bold font by the topic or the name of author. The author's name is listed on the first line, with the last name and then first name or initials. The text determined the spelling of an individual's name for this index, often resulting in multiple variants, i.e. initials, full name or misspelling. It was assumed that when articles in the Christian Leader were signed only by initials, these initials referred to the author and were arranged accordingly in alphabetical fashion. The second line and subsequent lines are indented slightly and begin with the title of the article in italics, followed by date of the issue and page number. If an article is part of a series, two or more articles with the same title may appear but with successive dates of issue. SPECIFIC CATEGORIES MB congregational reports from specific localities are listed under the country, followed by state or province, i.e. "US--Kansas" or "Canada--Alberta." Each congregation or locality is listed alphabetically under each province or state, which in turn is arranged alphabetically under the name of the country. These reports contain extensive information pertaining to specific localities in which a congregation is located and often contain data pertaining to baptisms, ordinations, festivals, funerals, etc. The bulk of the MB missionary reports have been listed alphabetically by country and specific locality under the heading "Missions, Foreign." A few reports, by virtue of their content, have been listed more specifically, i.e. "Missions--Indians--Canada." Reports regarding Mennonite Central Committee and its various projects in various countries are indexed by the category of work, i.e. "Relief work" or "Peace section," as well as by country. Reports pertaining to Civilian Public Service ministries, such as camps and mental health programs, are listed alphabetically by state and type of ministry. Educational reports are indexed under the subject heading of "Schools," followed by the country and specific locality, arranged alphabetically. For instance, Com Bible Academy would be listed alphabetically under "Schools - USA - Oklahoma." Inspirational pieces and poems have been included in the index, to reflect what materials were considered noteworthy enough to include in such a denominational publication. Biblical references included in devotional articles have not been indexed. Biblical III characters as subjects oflessons or devotionals have been listed under "Bible--Biography." Literature recommended to the MB constituency was indexed under the subject heading "Books--Reviews," which includes title, author of the book, followed by the CL issue in which the review appears. Books with no author given are listed alphabetically by title. All death notices and funeral reports are listed alphabetically by the name of the deceased under the subject heading of "Obituaries," followed by the place of occurrence, and date of CL issue and page number. References to weddings among the MB constituency are listed alphabetically under the subject heading "Weddings" by both the name of the bride and bridegroom, followed by the location of the ceremony, and the date of issue and page. References to anniversaries are listed in similar fashion alphabetically under that subject heading, by the name of the husband only. Baptisms occurring within our MB conference have been indexed under the subject heading "Baptisms" followed by the state or province of occurrence. Ordinations of MB pastors and missionaries have been indexed alphabetically by the name of the person being ordained and the place of occurrence, followed by the date of issue and page number. SUBJECT CATEGORY ADDITIONS to Volume II Births Clergy--Installations and Resignations Evangelistic work--Location and minister if indicated Letters to the Editor Missionaries Assignment--Location and missionary Voluntary Service--State TECHNOLOGY The Christian Leader index program for Volume II was prepared by David Buller of Ulysses, Kansas, using a program written in Microsoft Access 97. With the implementation of Visual Basic for Applications code, Microsoft Access 97 is able to manipulate the integrated queries and reports to formulate the finished index published here.

  • An Online Bibliography 1859-2011
    Anabaptism and Mission An Online Bibliography 1859-2011 Edited by Chad Mullet Bauman and James R. Krabill (First Edition) Revised and Updated by Joseph F. Pfeiffer Introduction to the Updated, Online Edition (2011) The following online electronic resource represents my efforts over the last few years, as a student at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS), with the sponsorship and partnership of the AMBS Mission Studies Center, directed by Walter W. Sawatsky, to update the first print edition of this work: Anabaptism and Mission: A Bibliography, 1859-2000 (Elkhart, IN: Mennonite Mission Network, 2002), compiled and edited through the tremendous and tireless efforts of Chad M. Bauman and James R. Krabill. Throughout the ongoing project thus far, the researching and compiling of sources was a humbling task, as the body of bibliographic materials on this subject never remains static. Not only has the project entailed updating entries of authors and sources listed in the first edition, as well new authors and scholars that have come on the scene in the first decade of the 21 st century, but several more sources even from the 20th century were found and added, as the development of electronic communication and information technology has made a great deal more information and data available, even since the time of the first publication. Furthermore, the author has continued the trend of conceiving of Anabaptist as inherently broader than the mainline Mennonite denominations. Thus, including more materials from other Anabaptists traditions, such as the often over-looked Apostolic Christian tradition (see entries for Sheetz and Donais), as well as the Brethren in Christ Church, allows for the vision of a broader and more contextually diversified vision of Anabaptism to emerge, such as in contexts of the Amazon basin and New Guinea Highlands.

  • Jiltester Martin C. Friesen Paraguay's Menn~Gemeinde~
    jiltester Martin C. Friesen (1889-1968): A Man of Vision for Paraguay's Menn~gemeinde~ Titus F. Guenther, Canadian Mennonite University' [The Mennonites] will build a city in the [Paraguayan] Chaco - not a state within the state - and we, the people from Asuncibn, from Pilar, from Concepcibn, and from Villa Rica will go there to greet them; all who hunger and thirst for justice/righteousness will go to behold the Mennonite city, where the motto of our flag - peace and justice - is seen burning in the hearts of these citizens who honour the name of God, and who will not shed the blood of their neighbours nor that of their enemies, and they will not grow rich at their neighbour's e~pense.~ Preamble These words from one of Paraguay's leading newspapers in 1921 show what high expectations that countiy's government had for the prospective immigrant Mennonites. Would the newcomers be able to fulfill these promises in the coming years? Or would they disappoint their new hosts and prove right the critics who bitterly opposed the government's plan of welcoming this alternative faith community to pioneer in the inhospitable Chaco? This article seeks to answer this question. On June 25, 2002, the Menno Colony in the Paraguayan Chaco celebrated its 7St" anniversaiy. Together, North Menno (or Old Menno) and South Menno, consist of some 80 villages with 9146 inhabitant^.^ Of the 1763 Canadian immigrants that settled in Paraguay in 1927, nearly one tenth (167 persons) still lived in the colony and were able to participate in the celebration of their lengthy sojourn in that country." Several significant achievements can be noted about Menno Colony today.
