[NatJolly]

Greetings!
I wanted to alert MennoNetters to the recent publication of a new issue of JAPAS (the Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies).

This was a special issue focused specifically on Plain women and gender in the Anabaptist world. Please do hop over if any of the articles below sound interesting. Access is free and readership is enthusiastically encouraged! There is even the opportunity for continued community conversation via the journal, so please do feel free to read and engage.

The Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies is a multidisciplinary peer reviewed journal that focuses on the plain branches of the seven major Anabaptist religious traditions: Amish, Apostolic Christian / Nazarene (Froelich), Brethren / German Baptist, Bruderhof, Hutterite, Swiss Mennonite, and Russian Mennonite.
