Although programs varied from school to school, generally between twenty-five to fifty percent of the curriculum was made up of Bible courses. Moreover, the cumulative enrollment within Mennonite Bible schools during this period is no less impressive, making up more modernism, and atheism. 2 Particularly significant for present purposes is the fact that more than forty out of just over one hundred Bible schools initiated in western Canada before 1960 were started by Mennonites. Prior to 1960, a vastly disproportionate number of Bible schools were located in western Canada, more than seventy percent of the Bible schools started in Canada before that time. They instead became crucibles in which particularly the children of immigrants redesigned the relationship between faith and culture.
The Bible schools were intended to serve as agents of cultural retention by grounding successive generations in the Mennonite faith, language, and way of life.
Because of their contribution to the remarkable growth experienced by Evangelical Protestants in Canada, they are arguably among the most important Evangelical institutions of the twentieth century. 1 By training church workers, pastors, and missionaries who have gone to every corner of Canada and the world, by organizing innumerable Bible and mission conferences, and through the use of radio broadcasts and literature, these schools have influenced the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Since the establishment of the first Bible school in Canada in 1885, Evangelical Protestants have initiated a myriad of approximately two hundred and forty such institutions throughout the country. “Monuments to God’s Faithfulness”: Mennonite Brethren Bible Schools in Western Canada, 1913-1960
