AB - An analysis of the challenge to the Amish Mennonites' ethnic identity by external economic forces and internal differences in ideology, during the period of increasing prosperity between 1940 and 1970. The author considers mainly the Wellesley Mennonite congregations of Waterloo County, both the Beachy and Western Ontario Mennonite Conference and the Mornington Mennonite community in Perth County. Unpublished work, possibly from Hugh Laurence's 1980 PhD work entitled: "Change in religion, economics, and boundary conditions among Amish Mennonites in Southwestern Ontario".
