If you no longer wish to receive these weekly columns,
Canada is 151 years old this weekend and well into its second century. We thank God for giving us the gift of living in this land. We work hard to help people from other lands to settle and become Canadians too!
My Special Item this week gives some background to a small museum Marlene and I visited while in St. Jacobs, Ontario - my home town. It was a helpful reminder of the story of political refugees from Europe who came to this country via the United States (sound familiar?) more than two hundred years ago. Mennonites have contributed much to our land in the two centuries they have lived here, in Canada's east and west.
I hope you find the other parts of Colleagues List to be of interest too.

THE MENNONITE STORY

SPECIAL ITEM
THE MENNONITE STORY
On a recent trip to mid-Ontario, where our focus was on nature and friends in the Georgian Bay region of the province, we did get to spend a few days in the area where I grew up - Waterloo County in general and St. Jacobs in particular. I would like to share some thoughts after Marlene and I visited a special museum named "The Mennonite Story"
https://tinyurl.com/y95ng9xl
This small, but well-designed location tells the story of the Anabaptist movement which began during the sixteenth century Reformation - spread to North America and Russia during the centuries following - and subsequently throughout the world in modern times.
Persecution
The disciples of former Catholic priest Menno Simons firmly believed that baptism into the Christian faith only had meaning if the recipient chose to be baptised. That understanding is commonly held by many non-Mennonite Christians today, but - five hundred years ago, the "Anabaptist" or re-baptism movement was a radical departure from both Catholic and Protestant tradition. The result was that those who become Christians by personal choice were hunted down and slaughtered as heretics. This story is vividly displayed in the museum and it is both a gruesome and enlightening experience to go through.
Migration
Mennonites who were able to escape Europe found refuge in places like Pennsylvania in the United States and the Ukraine in Russia, where new territories opened to an essentially agricultural people. Subsequently, many American Mennonites moved to Southern Ontario and - because they did not trust the American revolution and its leaders - they were determined to remain living in British-controlled North America. Thus, the settlements that began in the Waterloo region of Ontario more than 200 years ago.
Mennonites of the "Russian" tradition had moved to that country as others moved to America. Eventually, political unrest in Russia forced most of them that escaped new persecution to come to Canada as well as the USA in the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The ties between the Mennonites of both migrations have grown strong over the years. This led to a third key development in Anabaptist theology and practice.
Proclamation - Peace and Justice
The persecution of Mennonites during more than four centuries led to a major change in the Anabaptist approach to the world. Their theology shifted from self-preservation to an outreach witness devoted to service of those in need and who were now suffering from political injustice. The existence of the Mennonite Central Committee and its many forms of global ministry is important evidence that many Mennonites across their spectrum have learned from their experience and are now sharing their spirituality with everyone - including former religious enemies.
It is a wonderful sign of progress to learn of Anabaptist, Protestant and-Catholic dialogue springing up around the globe. The result is that Christian faith is enhanced, and the world is better served.
---
Conclusion:
It was good for me to visit "The Mennonite Story" museum, located in the same neighburhood where I was raised in my home town.

WISDOM OF THE WEEK
Provided by Sojourners and the Bruderhof online:
Prophetic imagination is grounded in the conviction
that God is doing something lively in the world.
- Walter Brueggemann
--
The beauty of standing up for your rights is others see you
standing and stand up as well.
- Cassandra Duffy
--
I've had enough of someone else's propaganda. I'm for truth,
no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or
against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I
am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.
- Malcolm X
--
Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with
love in dreams. Love in dreams is greedy for immediate action,
rapidly performed and in sight of all. People will give their
lives if only the ordeal does not last long but is soon over,
with all looking on and applauding as if on the stage. But
active love is labor and fortitude.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
--
Here is the mystery, the secret, one might almost say the
cunning, of the deep love of God: that it is bound to draw
on to itself the hatred and pain and shame and anger and
bitterness and rejection of the world, but to draw all those
things on to itself is precisely the means, chosen from all
eternity by the generous, loving God, by which to rid his
world of the evils which have resulted from human abuse
of God-given freedom.
- N. T. Wright
--
True individuality is measured by this: how long or how far
one can endure being alone without the understanding of
others. The person who can endure being alone is poles
apart from the social mixer. This person is miles apart
from the one who manages successfully with everyone –
the one who possesses no sharp edges. God never uses
such people. The true individual, anyone who is going to
be directly involved with God, will not and cannot avoid
the human bite. The true individual will be thoroughly
misunderstood. God is no friend of cozy human gathering.
- Søren Kierkegaard
--
We are a spiritually impoverished generation; we search
in all the places the Spirit ever flowed in the hope of finding
water. And that is a valid impulse. For if the Spirit is living
and never dies, it must still be present wherever it once
was active.…It is like a small but carefully tended spark,
ready to flare, glow, and burst into flame the moment it
feels the first enkindling breath.
- Edith Stein
--
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence
of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence
- we need to listen to God because it’s not what we say
but what he says to us and through us that matters.
Prayer feeds the soul – as blood is to the body, prayer is
to the soul – and it brings you closer to God. It also gives
you a clean and pure heart. A clean heart can see God,
can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
- Mother Teresa
--
Race matters to a young woman’s sense of self when she
states her hometown, and then is pressed, “No, where are
you really from?”, regardless of how many generations her
family has been in the country. Race matters to a young
person addressed by a stranger in a foreign language,
which he does not understand because only English was
spoken at home. Race matters because of the slights, the
snickers, the silent judgments that reinforce that most
crippling of thoughts: “I do not belong here.”
- Sonia Sotomayor

MOMENT IN TIME
Globe and Mail,
June 28th, 2018
The Treaty of Versailles
June 28, 1919: When the Treaty of Versailles brought
an official close to the First World War, it sparked
widespread rejoicing among Allied civilians and hopes
that an everlasting peace had been achieved. Their
celebration was understandable: Between 1914-18,
roughly 18-million people had been killed and although
no shots had been fired since the previous November,
fears lingered that the war might resume. The treaty
put those fears to rest.
A century later, however, its reputation is badly tarnished,
perhaps irretrievably, for its treatment of Germany. From
the first moment the signatures had started to dry, the
German people’s resentment started to burn. The treaty’s
terms were harsh on the country, including most infamously
the demand for billions in reparations, which went on to
trigger years of economic suffering. Within a decade, German
anger had led to the rise of Adolf Hitler and with him, the
hunger for vengeance.
While it may have officially ended one World War, the Treaty
of Versailles is now blamed, in great part, for sparking another.

The Calgary Stampede
June 29. 1908: It was four years away from being branded
the Calgary Stampede, but the Dominion Exhibition rodeo of
1908 made a monumental impression on Guy Weadick, an
American trick roper. He performed with the Miller Brothers
101 Ranch Wild West Show and saw 100,000 people attend
Calgary’s federally funded, seven day Exhibition. But Weadick
figured the outdoor show could be bigger still. So he went in
search of financial backers and eventually recruited George
Lane, Patrick Burns, A. J. McLean and A. E. Cross.

four businessmen to organize “the greatest thing of its kind in
the world.” The Stampede became the richest of all the rodeos,
with $20,000 in prize money. (The Stampede now pays out $2-
million in prizes.) For their efforts, the co-founders were labelled the Big Four. To this day, there is a building on the Stampede grounds named the Big Four while every year the cowboy who "best typifies" the spirit of the Calgary Stampede wins the Guy Weadick Trophy.
