the tribune stouffville ont thursday december 21 1950 urge years service for mennonites in event of war but not in armed forces mennonite youth will be urged to give a year of volunteer service in areas of need such as hospi tals and penal institutions rather than enter the armed forces in the event of war over 1500 young ilennonites attending the first community youth conference on church and war held in kitchener over the weekend learned that a detailed plan to direct young people into service work is being patterned after a similar american plan primary concern of the confer ence was what the action of the church would be in time of war those attending the conference unanimously agreed that the churchs policy of not taking up arms would be adhered to we feel that violence is not the answer but we want to make a contribution in the war against communism said rev john h hess associate pastor of first mennonite church where the con ference was held describing the attitude of the church as non resistant or paci fist rev mr hess admitted that in theory mennonites would not fight against russian seizure of the north american continent but would attempt to win them over to gods way when they arrived our church does not sanction the action of some of its young men who joined the services in the last war said rev mr hess reason for this latest conference he said was to give youth guid ance for the future rev mr hess said that the church lobbies were filled and people were standing in aisles to hear don smucker of the faculty of bethany and mennonite biblical seminaries chicago address the conference mr smuckers saturday night address entitled christianity and communism was followed by discussion groups who considered the impact of communism and practical approaches to it the group passed no resolutions we have traded hitler for stalin declared mr smucker who asserted that each war added impetus to communism the war within ourselves was the topic of the speakers
