In the summer of 2014 twenty Dutch Mennonites, split into four teams, were in search of the history of mennonite migration. Because they were inspired by the specific areas each team traveled

through, the experiences, and the questions that arose in the various team are diverse and colourful.

In Zürich, participants of the first team came across Markus Rediger, who is actively

involved with the international mennonite community. Markus invited the four teams to write a short summary of their experiences, questions and observations. Due to this, the migration tour could be an

important tool to outline the future of the mennonites in Europe. This invitation was gladly appreciated, and now we offer you this brief report of our feelings and ideas.

Each report is written in cooperation with the teams. It’s not meant, though, as a to-do list, although the tour inspired many of us to come into action. We hope this report inspires you as well.
