<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Chortitza Mennonite Church was the first Mennonite congregation organized in [[Russia|Russia]] (now [[Ukraine|Ukraine]]) and was located in the village of [[Chortitza (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Chortitza]], Ukraine. The settlers were composed of members of the [[Flemish Mennonites|Flemish]] and [[Frisian Mennonites|Frisian]] congregations of the Danzig area who had been urged by the Russian government to unite and had been encouraged in the same direction by the Old Flemish Mennonite Church of [[Amsterdam (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Amsterdam]]. There were no elders and ministers among the first settlers who spent the winter in [[Dubrovna (Vitsebsk Voblast, Belarus)|Dubrovna]]. Upon request the Danzig mother congregations appointed 12 ministerial candidates by letter, among whom were Jacob Wiens, Gerhard Neufeld, and [[Penner, Bernhard (1756-1791)|Behrendt (Bernhard) Penner]], representing both the Flemish and Frisians. No elder was elected. One of the main causes of the many pioneer difficulties which the new settlement endured and also a factor in the continued separation of the [[Flemish Mennonites|Flemish]] and [[Frisian Mennonites|Frisian Mennonites]] was the lack of spiritual leadership. The Frisians settled in separate villages and organized the [[Kronsweide Mennonite Church (Kronsweide, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Kronsweide Mennonite Church]].<br />
<br />
By far the largest number of settlers belonged to the Flemish group, which was expecting an elder from Prussia to come to help them organize and appoint an elder (bishop). [[Epp, Peter (1725-1789)|Elder Peter Epp]] of Danzig, who had been appointed for this task, died before he could leave. Then at a congregational meeting at Chortitza in 1790 the minister [[Penner, Bernhard (1756-1791)|Behrendt Penner]] was elected as elder and installed by letter from Danzig. The first meetings took place in an abandoned mill. Soon a meetinghouse was erected. When Penner died in 1791 [[Wiebe, Johann (1766-1823)|Johann Wiebe]] and [[Epp, David (1750-1802)|David Epp]] were elected as coelders and ordained by [[Warkentin, Cornelius (1740-1809)|Cornelius Warkentin]], who had come from Danzig with [[Regier, Cornelius (1743-1794)|Elder Cornelius Regier]] for this purpose, the latter having died in Russia before he could fulfill his task.<br />
<br />
Much disturbance was caused in the congregational life through the accusations launched against [[Bartsch, Johann (1757-1821)|Johann Bartsch]] and [[Höppner, Jakob (1748-1826)|Jacob Höppner]], the original delegates who had selected the land for settlement. The securing of the promised imperial <em>[[Privileges (Privilegia)|Privilegium]] </em>took much time and effort, but it was finally obtained in St. Petersburg and signed by [[Paul I, Emperor of Russia (1754-1801)|Paul I]] in 1800. Unrest was also caused later by a controversy between the [[Agricultural Association (South Russia)|Agricultural Association]], the <em>[[Gebietsamt|Gebietsamt]]</em>, and the church leaders.<br />
<br />
In the 1830s the old meetinghouse was replaced by a large two-story stone structure with a tile roof, which in its plain structural design was reminiscent of the Dutch and Prussian meetinghouses (e.g., [[Heubuden (Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)|Heubuden]]). This building was used until the Mennonites left Chortitza in 1943. Although the Chortitza church and village remained the center of the church, branch meetinghouses were also erected in [[Neuendorf Mennonite Church (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Neuendorf]], [[Burwalde (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Burwalde]] (1862), Osterwick (1872), and [[Einlage (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Einlage]]. In other villages services were held in schoolhouses.<br />
<br />
In addition to these churches, some daughter settlements also remained branches of the Chortitza mother church, viz., [[Fürstenland Mennonite Settlement (Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Fürstenland]] (after its elder left for America), [[Neu-Chortitza Mennonite Church (Baratov Settlement, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast,Ukraine)|Neu-Chortitza]], [[Borozenko Mennonite Settlement (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine)|Borozenko]], [[Nikolaifeld Mennonite Church (Yazykovo Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Nikolaifeld]], and others. Some of them, for example the [[Bergthal Mennonite Settlement (Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Bergthal Mennonite Church]], gradually became independent. As long as these branch congregations had no duly appointed and installed elder (bishop), the elder of the Chortitza Mennonite Church performed baptism, conducted the Lord's Supper, and was the leader. The ministerial body <em>(Lehrdienst </em>or <em>Kirchenkonvent), </em>composed of elder, ministers, and deacons, was the governing body of the large congregation. In the matters pertaining to baptism, Lord's Supper, and church discipline, the congregation followed the practice of the [[Flemish Mennonites|Flemish]].<br />
<br />
The spiritual and cultural life of the first decades was on a rather low level, as can be expected under the circumstances. Conditions improved with the overcoming of the period of strife and economic difficulties, and the raising of the educational and spiritual level through capable leadership. During the second part of the 19th century it became the practice to elect ministers from the ranks of teachers. Many of the outstanding elders and ministers had been teachers of the [[Chortitza Zentralschule (Chortitza, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Chortitza Zentralschule]] or the preparatory school. This era introduced greater appreciation not only of the Christian-Mennonite heritage but also of the German and Russian culture. An adjustment to the new environment was gradually taking place, partly under pressure, partly voluntarily. In the 1870s this question became a matter of great concern and disturbance when the development was climaxed by the introduction of universal military conscription in [[Russia|Russia]]. The more conservative element, approximately one third of all Chortitza Mennonites, which was least willing to take any step in this direction or to accept an alternative state service, left for America. Although such leaders as [[Epp, Heinrich (1827-1896)|Heinrich Epp]], teacher and elder, were very active in preserving the principles and the rights of the <em>Privilegium </em>of the Mennonites, they did not advocate emigration. On the other hand, the elders of the daughter colonies of [[Bergthal Mennonite Settlement (Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Bergthal]] ([[Wiebe, Gerhard (1827-1900)|Gerhard Wiebe]]) and Fürstenland ([[Wiebe, Johann (1837-1905)|Johann Wiebe]]) not only actively promoted this cause but also succeeded almost entirely in taking their flocks with them. They were joined by many from the Chortitza village. In contrast to the [[Molotschna Mennonite Settlement (Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Molotschna Mennonites]], who settled in the [[United States of America|United States]], they went to [[Manitoba (Canada)|Manitoba]], where they became known as [[Old Colony Mennonites|Old Colony]], [[Bergthal Mennonites|Bergthal]], [[Chortitzer Mennonite Conference|Chortitza]], and [[Sommerfeld Mennonites|Sommerfeld]] Mennonites.<br />
<br />
The leadership of the Chortitza congregation also played an important role in promoting missions, publications, and other activities of the <em>[[Allgemeine Bundeskonferenz der Mennonitengemeinden in Russland|Allgemeine Mennonitische Bundeskonferenz]] </em>in Russia.<br />
<br />
In addition to the separation of the Frisian from the Flemish at the beginning of the settlement, another separation occurred during the 1860s, when the [[Mennonite Brethren Church|Mennonite Brethren Church]] was founded in 1860 and following [[Pietism|Pietistic]] and [[Baptists and Mennonites in Russia|Baptist]] influences caused a religious revival in the village of Einlage. The rigid adherence of the leaders to established religious practices without much consideration for some justifiable innovations, and the zeal of those converted to new practices and principles brought the matter to a climax just as was the case at the Molotschna. (See [[Einlage Mennonite Brethren Church (Einlage, Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Einlage Mennonite Brethren Church]] and [[Mennonite Brethren Church|Mennonite Brethren]].) The <em>[[Allianz Gemeinden|Allianzgemeinde]], </em>founded by [[Friesen, Peter Martin (1849-1914)|Peter M. Friesen]] in 1905, which followed a middle road between the [[Kirchliche Mennoniten|Mennonite Church]] and the Mennonite Brethren, found some followers in the Chortitza Mennonite Church.<br />
<br />
Evangelistic meetings, Bible study groups, prayer meetings, Sunday schools, choirs, the use of musical instruments, and other more recent means and methods of promoting religious life and activities were gradually accepted. The congregation never practiced feetwashing. In the use of alcoholic beverages and smoking, moderation was stressed.<br />
<br />
With the outbreak of the [[Russian Revolution and Civil War|Revolution in 1917]] the congregation began to encounter great difficulties, although it also received substantial material aid through the relief program of the American Mennonites of 1919-1921. Its aging elder, [[Dyck, Isaak G. (1847-1929)|Isaak Dyck]], retired and was succeeded by [[Neufeld, Peter P. (1875-1927)|Peter P. Neufeld]] in 1922. At that time new hope and life began to fill the hearts after years of hardships, murder, epidemics, and starvation; Bible studies, conferences, and music festivals became common. Nevertheless, in 1922-1925 many members left for America. When the NEP period ended and antireligious propaganda and the exile of kulaks set in, most religious work was gradually stopped. The work of the ministers was confined to preaching. Religious instruction and baptism of the young people were made illegal. Ministers had to pay fines. After the death of Elder Peter P. Neufeld (1927) his successor, [[Epp, David Heinrich (1861-1934)|David H. Epp]], could do his work only under the greatest difficulties until he was forced to discontinue to function as elder in 1929, after which the office of elder remained unfilled. The ministers that had not yet been exiled or given up their vocation did their work quietly as long as they could. In 1934 the minister [[Töws, Aron P. (1887- ?)|Aron P. Töws]] was exiled, never to return.<br />

Heinrich Winter was exiled in 1935, returned in 1940, and undertook the tasks of minister and elder when the Germans occupied the Ukraine. The churches had been closed for years or had been used for other purposes. The Chortitza church had been used as a cinema. In 1942 a number of ministers were elected and the first baptismal service was held, with around 300 baptized. The following year, during which the total congregation was evacuated to Germany in October, the number of baptisms was even greater. Today the surviving members of the Chortitza congregation are scattered in [[Canada|Canada]], [[South America|South America]], and Siberia. Some of the Chortitza members became unfaithful in the hour of trial, but most remained steadfast, testifying for the Lord even unto death.<br />
<br />
The Chortitza Mennonite Church was founded in 1790. In 1905 it had a membership of 1,504 at Chortitza proper, 732 at Neuenburg, 726 at Osterwick, and 601 at [[Burwalde (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Burwalde]], a total of 3,563. The total population, including children, was 7,860, not including the daughter settlements. In 1927 the total membership for the same group was 3,287 (6,968 including children). The decrease in membership is probably due to emigration to Canada and to increased antireligious propaganda and persecution. Of the members of the Chortitza Mennonite Church, 542 had [[Secondary Education|secondary education]] and 6 had university training. The congregation had 17 ministers, 10 deacons, and one elder; of these 10 had a secondary education and one theological training <em>([[Unser Blatt (1925-1928)(Periodical)|Unser Blatt]],</em>Schönsee, Russia: 1927, 176).<br />
