This sub-series contains minutes, reports, memos and correspondence related to the European ministries program of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada. The primary European partner
was the Arbeitsgemeinschaft zur geistlichen Unterstützung in Mennonitegemeinden (AGUM).

This sub-series in the Theme Sermons series is a collection of sermons that Neufeld gave on the topics of conversion and evangelism in the Mennonite church, beginning during the time he was the leading minister of First Mennonite Church and continuing into the years he worked as President and Associate Professor at CMBC. Some sermons are noted to have been preached to the FMC congregation, but not all of them. Additionally, this series contains two papers on conversion that Neufeld presented at a 1996 New Life Assembly conference in Pittsburgh.

This sub-series within the Theme Sermons series contains material related to sermons that Neufeld wrote on the subject of the Ten Commandments and their relevance to contemporary life and the church. Along with copies of his sermons, these files contain notes on, and copies of, outside sources that Neufeld drew on to make his points. The dating of these files is largely based on the articles that Neufeld used as research, since most of his sermons and notes are undated. Files are in both English and German.
