One Quilt Many PiecesA Guide to Mennonite Groups in Canada by Margaret Loewen Reimer |
 |
An updated introduction to more than twenty Mennonite groups in Canada, with membership facts on Old Order communities, mainstream denominations, German-speaking family groups, tiny clusters of congregations, and churches of many ethnicities and languages. Also useful information such as schools, camps, periodicals, and institutions.
"Margaret Loewen Reimer's much anticipated new edition of One Quilt Many Pieces is an indispensable map of the Anabaptist/Mennonite landscape in Canada. Especially useful are the introductions to the smaller, conservative groups that are less well-known and understood than the visible Old Orders and large national denominations." - Sam Steiner, editor, Global Anabaptist Encyclopedia Online
"One Quilt is a superb resource to the wide spectrum of Mennonite-related groups in Canada. Reimer makes it easy to navigate the maze of Canadian Mennonite groups. A brief history, concise description of key practices, membership numbers, and relevant resources for each group makes this an indispensable handbook to the Mennonites of Canada. A must-read for anyone interested in the Mennonites of Canada." - Donald B. Kraybill, co-author, Anabaptist World USA
