Circles of Sisterhood: A History of Mission, Service, and Fellowship in Mennonite Women's Organizations (Studies in Anabaptist and Mennonite History)

Circles of Sisterhood: A History of Mission, Service, and Fellowship in Mennonite Women's Organizations (Studies in Anabaptist and Mennonite History)

Anita Hooley Yoder
4.3/5 ( ratings)
The saga of Mennonite women’s organizations is a story of struggle and triumph, productivity and misgivings, questions and celebrations. During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, women’s groups have offered Mennonite women a means of serving others by sewing clothing, laboring over quilts, rolling bandages, and packing school kits. Women’s groups have also provided Mennonite women the opportunity to test their skills as leaders and give voice to callings they felt in a church that has not always valued their gifts for ministry. In this vibrant portrait of Mennonite Women USA, Anita Hooley Yoder paints with both broad and subtle strokes the one-hundred-year history of an organization that nurtures local church women’s groups and connects Mennonite women across the world.
