What Happened to Nonresistant People During World War I? - Chester Weaver

In 1918, America joined World War I. At that time, there were not options for Mennonites that refused to fight. What happened to the thousands of Mennonite young men that were drafted into the war effort? Chester Weaver tells the stories of the persecution and threats they endured for refusing to take up the sword; two of these men became some of the last Anabaptist martyrs in America.Tania’s StoryA First-Class Fighting ManAmerican Mennonites and the Great WarCoals of Fire"Joseph and Michael Hofer"Nonresistance Under Test: A Compilation of Experiences of Conscientious Objectors as Encountered in Two World WarsPacifists in Chains: The Persecution of Hutterites during the Great War This is the 331st episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.This is the xxxth episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought. Sign-up for our monthly email newsletter which contains new and featured content!Join us on Patreon or become a website partner to enjoy bonus content!Visit our YouTube channel or connect on Facebook.Read essays from our blog or listen to them on our podcast, Essays for King JesusSubscribe on your podcast provider of choiceSupport us or learn more at anabaptistperspectives.org.The views expressed by our guests are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Anabaptist Perspectives or Wellspring Mennonite Church.
