AB - An analysis of the ethnic identity of the Mennonites, with particular reference to the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Topics include religious divisions, the amalgamation of church conferences, and the sponsoring and conversion of Southeast Asian refugees to the Mennonite faith. The author who attended eleven churches in the Kitchener- Waterloo over a three-year period, concludes that group identity is a "dialectical process involving the simultaneous expression of numerous and often seemingly conflicting expressions of identity."
