Cities of Refuge

Stories from Anabaptist-Mennonite

History and Life

Harry Loewen

“Cities of Refuge is Harry Loewen’s most recent collection

of historical stories about Anabaptists and their quest for

permanence and security away from their homeland. Spanning

500 years of Anabaptist migration from 16th century Europe to

modern day Canada, Loewen’s stories centre on the Mennonite

struggle to find a sense of home in the world but not of the world.

Most of the stories deal with what lies at the heart of being

Mennonite, namely the faith that goes back to the

Anabaptists of the 16th century and that of their

Dutch leader Menno Simons, whose name they bear.”
