<p>&ldquo;Nathan Yoder has produced an encyclopedic reference that traces the history of the Conservative Mennonite Conference from its origins among Amish Mennonites to the vibrant, diverse global church it has become. Yoder casts a broad net, researching everything from conscientious objection during war times, to transformations in understandings about nonconformity and evangelism, to overseas missions. He writes with conviction, forgiveness for the stumbles, and celebration of CMC&rsquo;s dedication to work through areas of contention and through difference.&ldquo;</p>Kimberly Schmidt, Reviews

<p>&ldquo;In this book, Nate Yoder gives his CMC sisters and brothers new ways to think aboutthemselves as they try to make sense of their past and find their way into the future together. The depth of his research and the sensitivity of his treatment are impressive, but what I appreciate most is the gentle way he illuminates what might otherwise be lost in the shadows.&rdquo;</p>Vicki Sairs, Reviews
