In 1987 the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Conference changed its name for the third time since its 1889 founding. Therein lies a tale of a small Mennonite denomination in search of its religious identity that author Calvin Redekop unravels in this intriguing book. "... a fascinating mixture of historical narrative, sociological analysis, and moral passion. Through it runs a theme of irony and a sober warning. Redekop's story...shows that church revitalization can come at the high cost of losing original core values" — James C Juhnke, Professor of History, Bethel (Kan.) College
