Host Dan Dyck sits down with author David Elias. David discusses ancestor and noted Mennonite diarist Peter A. Elias, growing up in southern Manitoba, and his upcoming book Into the d/Ark.
Peter wrote extensively and honestly about pioneering in Manitoba, and his personal struggles with the church after arriving in Canada in the early 1870s.
This interview was recorded while David was on the Canadian Mennonite University campus for Mennonite Writer/s Ten, a conference on Mennonite writing that took place in June, 2025.
