 Epp, Jan. 00
The occasion for the meeting was to recognize the historic presence of Amish settlers in Woolwich township, the municipal district located directly north of present-day Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.

Indeed, it is ironic that I can attend commemorative services with Russian Mennonites in Ukraine and Swiss Amish Mennonites in Woolwich township and somehow feel that both of these are "my people." It is in fact ironic that these two bear any resemblance to one another at all.
