reading some mennonite literature: Final Exam Essay
http://paskaisgc.blogspot.com/2011/04/final-exam-essay.html
Reading some mennonite literature. Thursday, April 28, 2011. A Complicated Kindness was our third Canadian Mennonite novel, and, while not really optimistic, this novel was more renewing for the Mennonite community than the other two, especially when considering contemporary audiences, particularly younger Mennonites who have little to relate to in PSDM and Katya. April 28, 2011 at 4:16 PM. Nice post- but I dont really think that Thoms religious beliefs completely change. He still has the same belief...

Mennonites & Methodists: April 2011
http://mennonitesandmethodists.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Miriam Teows’ A Complicated Kindness presents the problem of being enslaved by the tight rules of the Church and the question of when is the Church wrong? When does it turn into manipulation of the truth? What do you do? Do you follow the rules or do you stand up to the Church and demand reform? The central question posed in Rudy Wiebe’s Peace Shall Destroy Many is about nonresistance. Is it okay to sit back while others are fighting and dying for your freedom? He punched Herb ...

READ THIS NOW (it'snotthatbad): Cultural Critique Through Mennonite Writing
http://nobodylookimwriting.blogspot.com/2011/03/cultural-critique-through-mennonite.html
READ THIS NOW (it'snotthatbad). Friday, March 11, 2011. Cultural Critique Through Mennonite Writing. The Mennonite church is, to some degree, the one unifying experience between most people writing Mennonite literature, and there is a huge diversity of reactions to it, from wholehearted support to piercing criticism. Because of this, I will show through three examples from A Cappella,. A collection of Mennonite poetry,. A Cappella: Mennonite Voices in Poetry. Iowa City: University of Iowa, 2003. Print.

Woohoo! Mennonite Literature!: Goshen Martyrs
http://woohoomennoniteliterature.blogspot.com/2011/04/goshen-martyrs.html
Saturday, April 23, 2011. A sentence from Stephanie Krehbiel's essay “Staying Alive: How Martyrdom Made Me a Warrior”. Caught my eye. Krehbiel writes, “In the end, it seems the martyr and warrior archetypes both harbor the same dangerous potential: to make us locate evil solely in the Other and imagine ourselves pure, be we sword-bearers or victims” ( Tongue Screws and Testimonies. Last week in The Record. Patrick Maxwell, a senior at Goshen, wrote a perspective. Posted by Sarah and David. Goshen martyrs...

MennoNight: The Blessing of Deviance
http://mennonight.blogspot.com/2011/04/blessing-of-deviance.html
Friday, April 1, 2011. The Blessing of Deviance. April 1, 2011 at 12:54 PM. In my family, there is plenty of room for deviance, accompanied by acceptance. To me, this realization is one of the biggest gifts that I have been given. This odd combination of freedom and community allows me to explore and add to my life experiences and my faith. I have been gracefully given permission to weave my family’s stories with my own, and take their experiences to learn from. Your family sounds amazing, btw). And that...

reading some mennonite literature: Canadian Poets
http://paskaisgc.blogspot.com/2011/04/canadian-poets.html
Reading some mennonite literature. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Reading the Canadian poets' poems in A Capella felt a little bit like I was reading the first half of Sleeping Preacher. A lot of the poems felt to me to be written around a focal event, a historical event, a familial event, like Kasdorf's were. And aren't family and heritage important to everyone?

MennoNight: A Complicated Kindness and the Power of the Metaphor
http://mennonight.blogspot.com/2011/04/complicated-kindness-and-power-of.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. A Complicated Kindness and the Power of the Metaphor. Not literally, of course. What I mean to say is that I use and think in metaphors about as often as clouds cover Goshen. So, when Nomi Nickel, the narrator and main character of Miriam Toews' novel A Complicated Kindness,. Brought up how she saw her sister's use of metaphors to be a negative thing, she really caught my attention. What is it about the metaphor that is frightening? She has been faced with so much abandonment that...
