A Generation of Vigilance: The Lives & Work of Johannes and Tina Harder. For several decades, the Harders were the most prominent and influential MB church and conference leaders in British Columbia. Says Regehr, their story illustrates “a process of religious accommodation similar to that experienced by many other immigrant groups and also by others churches when faced with rapid change” - one not without controversy. They held high standards of church discipline and strict codes of Christian conduct. As well, they “provided much appreciated leadership during a time of very rapid change as Mennonite immigrants from the Soviet Union tried to establish themselves in Canada.” (order form).
