<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Kommission für Kirchenangelegenheiten (KfK) (Committee for Church Affairs) was an organization among Mennonites of [[Russia|Russia]] (also transplanted to the Mennonite settlements in [[South America|South America]]) which, contrary to previous practices, represented all Mennonite groups in Russia. In 1910 a <em>Glaubenskommission</em> was appointed at [[Schönsee (Molotschna Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Schönsee]] by the [[Allgemeine Bundeskonferenz der Mennonitengemeinden in Russland|&lt;em&gt;Allgemeine Bundeskonferenz der Mennnonitengemeinden in Russland&lt;/em&gt;]] to deal with the tremendous problems of that time. The Russian parliament had issued a new law regarding religious groups by which the Mennonites were stripped of their former privileges and treated as a "sect." The KfK became an effective agent in these emergency situations. At the conference at Nikolaipol in 1912, the name <em>Glaubenskommission</em> was changed to <em>Kommission für Kirchenangelegenheiten</em>. This commission became the executive committee of the conference (<em>Bundeskonferenz</em>) to carry out its decisions in so far as they did not conflict with the local autonomy of the congregations and also to represent the collective Mennonite body to the government.<br />
<br />
The first committee consisted of [[Goerz, Abraham (1840-1911)|Elder Abr. Goerz]] of Ohrloff, [[Braun, Heinrich Jakob (1873-1946)|Heinrich Braun]] (Mennonite Brethren), and [[Epp, David Heinrich (1861-1934)|D. H. Epp]]. In 1911 D. H. Epp was appointed chairman and K. Unrau was added as treasurer. Later [[Dyck, Wilhelm I. (1854-1936)|Wilhelm Dyck]] took the place of Heinrich Braun. In 1912 the KfK was also charged with the responsibility for arranging the programs and obtaining governmental permission to hold conference sessions. At a meeting of the [[Allgemeiner Mennonitischer Kongress (Russia)|Allgemeiner Mennonitischer Kongress]] in Ohrloff in 1917, it was decided that the chairman of the KfK devote his full time to the work of the conference and that he should receive a salary. During the time of the [[Russian Revolution and Civil War|Revolution]] and the confusion following it, all activities came temporarily to an end. At the first conference after the Revolution, held in [[Chortitza (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Chortitza]] in October 1922, a new committee was elected composed of [[Klassen, Johann Peter (1868-1947)|Elder Johann Klassen]] of Schönwiese, [[Rempel, Jakob A. (1883-1941?)|Elder Jakob Rempel]] of [[Grünfeld (Schlachtin Mennonite Settlement, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine)|Grünfeld]], Heinrich Wiebe of Steinfeld, and [[Janzen, Jacob H. (1878-1950)|Jakob Janzen]] of Tiege. The functions of the committee remained the same with special authorization for action in cases of emergency. The committee chosen in 1925 consisted of [[Ediger, Alexander (1893-1938?)|Elder Alexander Ediger]] of Schönsee, [[Dueck, Aron Aron (1891-1937?)|Aron Dueck]] of Margenau, and Cornelius Martens of [[Grossweide (Molotschna Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Grossweide]]. Later representatives from Siberia and the [[Crimea (Ukraine)|Crimea]] were added. The activities of the KfK in Russia came to a close in 1926-27 when all organized religious activities became impossible.<br />
<br />
The Mennonites of [[Brazil|Brazil]] and [[Paraguay|Paraguay]] continued the practice of having an inter-Mennonite KfK to take care of all common religious problems of the settlements. The KfK in Brazil had the same name <em>Kommission</em> as the corresponding Russian Mennonite KfK, and continued until 1947, when the withdrawal of the Mennonite Brethren group rendered it moribund. For the Paraguay KfK, see the article [[Kommission für kirchliche Angelegenheiten (Paraguay)|Kommission für kirchliche Angelegenheiten]].<br />
