Abstract

The article celebrates the fiftieth issue of "Preservings," a publication dedicated to Mennonite history, highlighting its evolution from a six-page newsletter to a biannual journal over thirty-two years. It emphasizes the importance of communal learning and the exploration of often-neglected topics, such as the roles of Mennonite matriarchies and domestic life, in understanding faith and identity. Contributions from various authors reveal a commitment to uncovering hidden histories and the complexities of belief, as illustrated by discussions on early Anabaptist texts and the significance of family heirlooms. The article underscores the interplay between politics and personal histories in shaping narratives of faith and community. [Extracted from the article]
