Why Mennonite Church Canada?

Mennonites have been around for almost 500 years. Early leaders rejected the state church’s control over peoples’ lives. Mennonite ideas and insistence on separation between church and state are equally important today, when some governments in the global community attempt to suppress the rights of individuals and non-conformist communities.

Today, you won’t recognize most Mennonites by how they dress. But you will find vibrant Mennonite congregations scattered throughout rural areas, small towns and large cities across Canada, and throughout the world.

With his picture on my phone, I roamed around the L departure wing of the Paris Charles De Gaulle airport in France. Before long, I walked up to someone who looked pretty close to the picture and said, “Hi, are you Rod Hollinger-Janzen by chance?” “Yes, I am” he replied.
