I will explore the Rhine River valley, beginning in Switzerland and extending to Alsace-Lorraine in France and the Palatinate in Germany. I am a Mennonite pastor on a three-month sabbatical through the generosity of the Lilly Endowment. I am interested in the connections between Mennonites and the Amish, both the divisions and also the reunifications.
