Dr. Rod Janzen is Professor of Education and History at Fresno
Pacific University. He is the author of The Prairie People: Forgotten
Anabaptists (University Press of New England, 1999). Janzen's presentation
will focus on the "Hutters," or non-communal Hutterites. Many Hutters joined
various Mennonite groups beginning in the late nineteenth century, including
the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren. The Zion KMB Church, where this year's meeting
will take place, was established by KMB Hutters from South Dakota in 1911.
