Al Reimer, Canada, 1988: Living as a Mennonite in Winnipeg at this - TopicsExpress



          

Al Reimer, Canada, 1988: Living as a Mennonite in Winnipeg at this time is particularly exhilarating. Never before has there been such a large and dynamic Mennonite urban community anywhere, a community that for the most part still has roots--or at least memories of roots--in the old Mennonite ethnic village. It is a rapidly assimilating Mennonite community confidently building for itself a solid social and cultural base within the larger society. There is not a profession--from politics to surgery to stock brokerage to acting--that is not being followed with success and distinction by energetic and ambitious Mennonites. ... In my less optimistic moments, however, I wonder how much longer this ethnic vitality and stabiilty can last in the urban setting. [Why I am A Mennonite, Herald Press, p. 263]
