Christian Neff was asked to plan the third Mennonite World Conference (MWC), which took place in the Netherlands in 1936. As in 1925, the program was largely historical and celebrated the four hundredth anniversary of Menno Simon's joining the Anabaptists. The first part of the conference was held in the Singel Mennonite Church in Amsterdam and the second part at the Dutch Mennonite retreat grounds at Elspeet.
