Historic Photo of John L Ruth storytelling on an Anabaptist Heritage Tour in Europe

Schedule of Screenings in 2018

If you have ever travelled with John Ruth on a European Anabaptist Heritage tour you won’t want to miss his 90 minute documentary entitled Is There a Lesson?. During this 90-minute documentary, relive your memories of travelling the Anabaptist heritage trail in Europe through still photography from the 1960’s through decades of film footage to video from John’s more than 60 heritage tours. The four-country tour is linked by the twinned motifs of sword and song, emphasizing the original centrality of the Anabaptist theme of biblical nonresistance. Even if you never went on a heritage tour, this film will help to bring the stories of Anabaptist leaders to life as you virtually “visit” significant sites in the Netherlands, France, Germany and Switzerland. WATCH A FILM TRAILER.

An offering will be taken at each event. Half of the proceeds will go toward the costs of developing the film and the other half to a local Mennonite heritage centre. This film is co-sponsored by TourMagination and Mennonite Historians of Eastern Pennsylvania.
