This page contains links to important historical/foundational
documents of Mennonite Church Canada. A notation in the General Board
meeting minutes of 2001-4 (November 15-17, 2001) states: “CONSENSUS
3 – General Board affirms that Mennonite Church Canada is a successor
“owner” of Mennonite Church and General Conference
Mennonite Church statements until they are revised or replaced.”
Mennonite Church USA has taken a similar action.
These links are helpful for research, verification, and affirmation of
key church decisions of the past.
Special thanks to John E. Sharp, Director, Mennonite
Church USA Historical Committee for assembling these documents.
The statements before 1997 have been scanned from the Proceedings
or Minutes of the Delegate/General Assemblies where delegates of
the respective denominations approved them. Other souces are noted. Our
thanks to the following Goshen College students, who assisted in the scanning
and formatting of documents: --Tim Nafziger, Aaron Lehman, Abby Trollinger,
Katie Yoder, Emily Hershberger, and Theresa Wallman.. Also, thanks to
Dennis Stoesz, Goshen archivist, who cheerfully retrieves relevant documents
upon demand!
More foundation documents are available from the Global
Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online (GAMEO). They maintain a
searchable database which includes many more historic documents.
