Scope and content
These records contain the minutes, governing records, correspondence, and other materials documenting the development of the Mennonite Church in India. The Mennonite Church in India began as a conference of Mennonite congregations under the auspices of the American Mennonite Mission. In 1952, when the American Mennonite Mission ceased to exist, the Mennonite Church in India became an independent entity. Of particular interest in these records is the Church Problems and Discipline File, which provides evidence of tensions between indigenous Indian Christians and mission staff regarding authority and power withing the Mennonite Church.
