Jacob Johann Thiessen (1893-1977) was born in Klippenfeld, Molotschna Colony, Russia to Johan J. and Margaretha (Neufeld) Thiessen. He attended the Gnadenfeld Zentralschule and later studied in Halbstadt to become a teacher. From 1915 to 1917 he served as a conscientious objector, first in a Russian forestry camp and later with a road-building crew. In 1924 he served as co-chairman of the All-Ukrainian Mennonite Conference held in Kalinowo. In 1926 he came to Canada with his family. In 1927 he began working as a Reiseschuld (travel debt) collector. J.J. and Katherine, his wife, became members of the Rosenorter Mennonite Church at Rosthern, Saskatchewan in 1928. In 1930 he accepted duties with the General Conference Mennonite Church Mission Board as a part-time minister to Mennonites living in Saskatoon. This became full-time the following year. The Thiessens also founded the Saskatoon Maedchenheim (girl's home), a place created to meet the social and religious needs of young Mennonite women coming to work in the city. Thiessen was ordained as a Mennonite minister by Bishop David Toews in 1932 and as bishop in 1938. J.J. died in 1977 and his funeral was held in the First Mennonite Church in Saskatoon. For at least two decades he was the most prominent leader of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada. He had broad church involvements within his own denomination and also in the context of inter-denominational ventures.
This fonds includes records reflecting the range of activities of J.J. Thiessen with one notable exception. The records of his involvement with the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization (later Canadian Mennonite Relief and Immigration Council) are largely in the files of that organization. The correspondence covers most eras and there are a wide variety of church reports, sets of institutional minutes of organizations such as the Rosenorter Mennonite Church or Mennonite Central Committee. Some of the correspondence is from relatives, and some pertains to travel abroad. There are materials related to the development of Mennonite post-secondary education in Canada and relief and humanitarian ventures. The largest section of the fonds is arranged in series. The majority of this section has also been microfilmed. Other sections include 19 volumes (Vol. 1135-1153) containing miscellaneous correspondence and minutes, and reports and minutes from the Mennonite Central Committee, 7 volumes (Vol. 1656-1662) containing reports and pamphlets on assorted themes, a ledger book, and another volume of assorted items. The fonds also contains several maps pertaining to Mennonite settlements, a large collection of photographs, and one cassette.
