at Historic Rock Ford’s Untold Stories of the Revolution Lecture Series welcomes Kenneth Sensenig as he presents “The American Revolution and Mennonites: A Crisis of Conscience.” In 1777, during the defense of Philadelphia, the peaceful Ephrata Cloister became an unlikely battlefield of conscience as wounded soldiers were brought there for nursing. Join us for an exploration of the story of John and Anna Baer, Mennonite pacifists who faced an impossible dilemma: how to care for wounded soldiers whose cause contradicted their deepest beliefs. Christa Mylin from Mennonite Life will also be assisting with this lecture regarding material artifacts that will be on display at the end of the lecture. There will also be a Q&A session. This presentation will take place in the Langmuir Education Room on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. Admission is for the lecture only and does not include the Snyder Gallery or Hand Mansion.
