The weekend in Backnang


Ruth - Today's meeting of the south German Mennonite Churches was an all day affair with vigorous singing, admonition and training on data security, a lunch of borscht and rolls, reports about various projects, discussion in small groups about what churches are doing in relation to young adults as well as a bit of brainstorming. 


Jack -  In the afternoon, I joined Rudiger S. for a tour of the many homes built by Pax Boys during the 1950s and early 60's. For part of that time, Ruth's father and mother (Peter and Elfrieda Dyck) oversaw the work with refugees and the Pax Boys in Backnang.

  1. Hi Jack and Ruth,
    Thanks for the updates. It will be very interesting to follow your life in Germany in all its aspects. I look forward to more! In particular, once you get settled in I want to hear your views on the differences you find in German society since your first, momentous, year in Germany
