  • CA MHC 704
  • Collection
  • 1986

This 122 item color slide show depicts the people and landscape of Taiwan and briefly describes Taiwanese politics, history, economics, agriculture, and the Buddhist religion. It is in this context that Mennonite missionaries work. The first Mennonite missionaries came in 1948 and in 1954 the Mennonite Chritian Hospital was built in Hwalien. Church planting has grown from this service. Individuals depicted include Simon Wang, Vincent Chen, Sheldon Sawatzky, Paul Shr, Leona Shr, Helen Willms. -- Note: included is a script and narration on audio cassette tape #2554. There are a few extra photos and after the narration is over another narration starts also about Taiwan but different that this one.

  • 2011-2018

SERIES 1 AND 2 RESTRICTED UNTIL 2040

This collection is focused on Ruth Krall's research and activism related to sexual abuse in the Mennonite Church. It is divided into 3 series, with the first two making up the majority of the collection.

Series 1) SNAP Menno Working Files
This is composed of working files created by Krall during the course of her work as convener for SNAP-Menno during its formation from 2014 to 2016. Files include email correspondence, memos, and published press releases related to SNAP-Menno's advocacy work. Files also contain periodic personal journal entries recording Krall's reflections on the work of SNAP-Menno and her analysis of intra-group conflicts related to diverging activism strategies.

Series 2) John Howard Yoder Clerical Abuse Research
This series begins following Krall's retirement from Goshen College in 2003 and ends with the publication of her series on clerical abuse called "The Elephant in God's Living Room" in 2013. The series contains volumes I-V of "The Elephant in God's Living Room," as well as correspondence, research materials, personal notes, and journal entries. A significant amount of material was removed from this series, including items from John Howard Yoder's MC USA Archives collection, publications, and books. Items that were removed are noted in the collection.

Series 3) Assorted Writings
This short series contains writings from Ruth Krall not related to SNAP Menno or Clerical Abuse. Included here are Krall's 2009 reflections on a sabbatical, a presentation Krall gave on healing in 2003, and a presentation given by Lauren Friesen that analyzes Krall's contribution to Mennonite peacemaking.
