This book of church history does not gloss over the struggles that accompanied Conservative Mennonites as they faced changing practices with regard to plain dress and use of automobiles and sometimes differing definitions of nonconformity, authority, and submission. At the same time, it presents compelling accounts of people called to reach out with a mission focus and establish the church, whether in Kentucky, Ecuador, or just across the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the 47th volume in the Studies of Anabaptist and Mennonite History series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MennoMedia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008084001008,"sku":"9780836195057","price":32.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780836195057_p0.jpg?v=1763816466","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780836195057","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
