Beschreibung:
Gloria Neufeld Redekop received her Ph.D. in Women and Religion from the University of Ottawa. She has taught in the Department of Religion at Carleton University and as an independent scholar has recently engaged in research on women and war.
Impelled by a call to share their gifts through service, Russian Mennonite women immigrating to Canada organized their own church societies (Vereine) as avenues of mission and spiritual strengthening. For women who were restricted from leadership positions within the church, these societies became the primary avenue of church involvement. Through them they contributed vast amounts of energy, time and financial resources to the mission activity of the church. The societies thus became a context in which women could speak, pray and creatively give expression to their own understanding of the biblical message.
