Circling the Globe; The Story of the EMC

Description Doris Penner Penner’s book looks briefly at the start of the Christian Church, the Reformation, and the wider Anabaptist movement before focusing on the EMC. The EMC came out of the Kleine Gemeinde, a group which broke away from a larger Mennonite church in 1812 in Russia and came to Canada in 1874-75. Penner traces the development of part of the KG into the EMC, a church that, at first, moved around the world for religious freedom and, later, expanded its vision to send members around the globe in Christian service. 256 pages
