  • The Peace Stance of the Conservative Kanadier Mennonites, 1874-1945
    Nonresistant or Pacifist? The Peace Stance of the Conservative Kanadier Mennonites, 1874-1945 by Victor David Kliewer A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program Department of History University of Manitoba / University of Winnipeg Winnipeg Copyright © 2011 by Victor David Kliewer ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the conservative Kanadier Mennonites, who first came to Canada in 1874, were committed to absolute pacifism. This commitment—one of the basics of their faith—caused major tensions with the host society, notably in times of war. In this thesis I investigate three kinds of resources, each offering a different perspective on the pacifist conviction of the conservative Kanadier Mennonites. The first consists of three migration accounts; the second includes six sermons; the third is a unique set of minutes of the Ältestenrat—the Council of Elders—which record the deliberations of the church leaders who met with government officials to negotiate the alternative service program for conscientious objectors during World War II. The documents demonstrate that the conservative Kanadier Mennonites were not socially or politically engaged pacifists but that their commitment to absolute pacifism was an integral part of their overall understanding of being Christian. according to the pure teaching of our Lord Jesus in the New Testament we are forbidden to take revenge, and in the spirit of the gospel, which is a spirit of peace, we are likewise forbidden to use any sword, weapon, or gun against our enemies.

  • Brauns of Osterwick
    The Brauns of Osterwick Mr. and Mrs. Jakob Braun FOREWORD The purpose of this writing has been to lift a small corner of the veil from the conditions under which the Jakob Braun family and their descendents have come during the past century. This has been accomplished quite inadequately. There are too many areas left unanswered. Three types of information have been employed for this purpose: I. genealogical tables; 2. brief biographical sketches; 3. editorial contributions from all who responded to the invitations. A liberal sprinkling of photographs has been added for emphasis. Information has been gleaned from the small number of family records, diaries, journals, documents, school registers, church records, newspapers and personal letters available. The passing of the first, the second and the oldest members of the third generations has greatly curtailed the information obtainable on the harrowing experiences, but now very interesting information, on the pioneering years. The paucity of such material may be due to numerous factors, the least of which would likely not be the hesitancy of people to do some writing. Moreover what was written, was too often not -preserved. This was regretfully demonstrated by the church secretary who consigned the old church register to the flames when a new one had to be purchased. Since whole families so frequently migrated from the old world to the new, there was likely less cause for letter-writing, removing an important reason for recording family joys and sorrows. More time and money for research may unearth further pertinent material on our family. If this present effort should produce that result it will not have been in vain.
