Gerhard Ens was born in 1922. He was ordained to lay ministry in the Blumenort congregation in Rosetown, Manitoba in 1957. He taught and served as principal of the Mennonite Collegiate Institute in Gretna, Manitoba for many years. During the late 1970s, he relocated to Winnipeg, where he worked as editor for the German publication, Der Bote. He continued to provide lay leadership in the church, specifically Sargent Avenue Mennonite Church in Winnipeg. In addition to these activities, Gerhard also hosted a Low German radio program and was actively involved in the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society for several decades, filling the role of Secretary-Treasurer.
Scope and content note
This fonds consists primarily of material related to the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society including correspondence, reports and minutes (1958-1981). Much of this material concerns the 1974 Centennial celebrations for the anniversary of Mennonites arriving in Manitoba. Other significant materials include minutes of the Radio Committee of the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba (1956-1963) and records of the Mennonite Collegiate Graduate Society (1954-1950). In addition there are several single documents acquired by Ens which are related to Mennonite history. Finally, the collection includes audio reels of Ens' Low German radio program, which include talks on Mennonite history, travel reports, interviews, music and literature.
