AB - A study of Mennonite views of the natural world and human relationships to it, with special reference to Waterloo Township. Key concepts are "nature," "wilderness", and "stewardship" and agricultural practices, social and religious beliefs, and broader intellectual influences are all considered. The author concludes that Mennonites were more closely integrated into mainstream society than may have been generally assumed. Within the Ontario Mennonite church and community, tensions associated with the modernization process led to schisms and different ways of seeing and relating to the natural world. However, older beliefs about the natural world, such as astrology and magic, persisted well into the twentieth century.
