(Continued from Page Al)
Canada attended the Faith and
Farming Conference Monday
through Wednesday at the
Laurelville Mennonite Conference
Center at Mt. Pleasant in Western
Pennsylvania.
Core of the conference was a
mutual discussion of how Men
nonites, traditional stewards of the
soil, can remain a viable part of
the agricultural community and
how this continued role interacts
with being people of the Christian
faith.
Among problems discussed at
the conference were the economic
plight of farmers, which was
concentrated among Midwestern
representatives.
Another topic included govern-

farming
ment programs and how they
affect Mennonite farmers. It is not
expected that 1985 Farm Bill
recommendations will come forth
as Mennonite suggestions, but
individual farmers were en
couraged to make their feelings
known through other ag
organizations to which they belong
or through Inter-Faith, an in
terdenominational group in
Washington, D.C.
Other topics of discussion - all
centered on the inter-relationship
of farming with their faith - in
cluded conservation (with the
Chesapeake Bay specifically
discussed by some), high energy
use on farms and “bigness.”
Mennonites at the conference
favor a return to the old Jef
fersonian agrarian principles of
Champion XCross Barrow
at Keystone
essentially making as much land
as possible available to as many
farmers as possible.
Among the featured participants
m the conference was Roy Kauff
man, pastor from lowa, who
served as devotional leader.
Another topic extensively
discussed was the problems being
encountered in the passing of
farms from generation to
generation. Older farmers
discussed their problems of
handing the farm down and
younger farmers who presently
may rent from the older
generation told of the difficulties
they are encountering.
It is expected that regional
sessions or conferences may
evolve in coming months to con
tinue the Faith and Farming
dialogue initiated at the Mt.
Pleasant meeting.
Such regional sessions will then
culminate in the regular Biannual
Meeting of the Mennonite Church
of North America in Ames, lowa
next year. One day at this meeting
will be devoted entirely to
agriculture.
