Chortitzer Mennonite Conference
The Christian Mennonite Conference, formerly known as the ''Chortitzer Mennonite Conference'' (german: Die Mennonitische Gemeinde zu Chortitz), is a small body of Mennonites in western Canada. History The forerunners of this group came to Manitoba from Russia in 1874. They were first known as Bergthalers, but eventually became known as ''the Chortitzer Church'' because their bishop, Gerhard Wiebe (1827-1900), lived near the village of Chortitz (now known as Randolph), and made the local church his home church. This group was very conservative. They sang without harmony (parts), restricting the singing to a melody only. They allowed neither Sunday schools nor evening services. The German language was used exclusively in church services. The bishop and ministers possessed most of the authority in the conference, allowing for little local autonomy. The departure of the more conservative families to Paraguay in 1948 left the more progressive families remaining in Canada. This ope ...
