Description Harry Loewen Pandora Press 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.
