VOLUME 5 A History of the Chortitzer Mennonite Church of Manitoba 1874 – 1914

Description by Dennis E. Stoesz Originally written as a Masters Thesis at the University of Manitoba in 1987, this book examines the early history of the Chortitzer Mennonite Conference of Manitoba. Through the use of several primary documents such as the diary of Bishop David Stoesz, the writer adds insight on the thesis that the Chortitzer Mennonite Church moved from an ethnic base to a denominational base during this early period of their history in Canada.
