Author Maria Moore – history of the Mennonite culture

November 19

November 19, 2025.

Place TBD: The Archives or 

Time:  TBD

Not My Kind of Mennonite is a personal dive into the history, culture, and religious and social pressures faced by one Old Colony Mennonite family.  Maria Moore was born in Mexico but she has spent her life in southwestern Ontario. She has had a fulfilling career as a registered nurse with a focus on mental health, addictions and advocacy. She enjoys hiking, storytelling and writing.

Maria is going to focus on the history of the Mennonites so we can better understand this interesting culture.  She also is a wonderful story keeper and story teller and can tell us how she was able to break the silence through storytelling in order to break the chain and foster generational healing.  This is a very difficult book to read and she will help with debriefing for some of the difficult topics that this book may present for some readers.
