In 1917, as America was entering the Great War, Mennonites in Virginia hatched a plan to open \u201ca Mennonite school in the East.\u201d Yes, I know Virginia is in the South, and EMU is located in the western part of the state, but EMU is east of Eden &#8230; I mean Goshen &#8230; and that\u2019s what mattered to some Mennonites in 1917. What an amazing trajectory we\u2019ve been on from our humble Bible and agricultural school roots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am delighted to welcome you to Harrisonburg <\/strong>\u2014 a city of about 58,000 \u2014 with three universities. Harrisonburg is known as \u201cthe Friendly City.\u201d I hope you find this to be true. \u00a0As importantly, Harrisonburg is a diverse city \u2014 a dozen major languages are spoken here. Some of you may be familiar with the sign: \u201c<em>Wherever you are from, we are glad you are our neighbor.\u201d<\/em> That sign was created as a response to the chilly immigration climate that began up the road in our nation\u2019s capital. That sign was started right here in Harrisonburg at Immanuel Mennonite Church.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am delighted to welcome you to the Shenandoah Valley<\/strong>. We are nestled in and around three mountain ranges: the Blue Ridge, the Alleghenies and the Appalachians \u2014 stunning vistas in every direction.<\/p>\n<p>And, finally, <strong>I am delighted to welcome you to the \u201cCrossing the Line\u201d conference<\/strong>. We are all looking forward to your spirited conversations, cutting-edge research, and inspirational creative activity \u2014 taken together \u2014 all bent on exploring the intersectionality of feminism and Anabaptism; gendered identities and faith identities.<\/p>\n<p>From time immemorial, women have encountered borders and boundaries, spheres and silos, restrictions and reprimands for \u201ccrossing the line,\u201d for \u201cbreaking the glass ceiling,\u201d and even more recently for just wanting to \u201clean in!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary and ordinary examples of women \u201ccrossing boundaries\u201d continue to abound. Just this month, I was visiting with two women leaders. We were comparing stories about being our institution\u2019s first woman president. Inevitably, the conversation turned to stories of how we navigate \u201cthe dance\u201d between our feminism and femininity, our sense of command and compassion \u2014 and even the challenges of what to wear with which groups! And then there is the whole subtopic of shoes!<\/p>\n<p>I want to leave you with two brief stories that capture the larger theme of this conference: How Anabaptist women have inventively navigated barriers arising from their gender and religious beliefs. I\u2019ll call it the \u201cTale of Two Margarets.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tale #1: Margaret Hellwart <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s the first story. This one is from Switzerland in the 1600s, and it features an Anabaptist woman named Margaret Hellwart.<\/p>\n<p>My colleagues at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario \u2014 Arnold Snyder and Linda Hecht Huber (Linda is here at the conference)\u00a0\u2014 neatly retell Margaret\u2019s story in their book, <em>Profiles of Anabaptist Women.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Margaret Hellwart was an unusual, persecuted Anabaptist hero. Her story begins in 1608 in Beutelsbach, Switzerland. She was one of several energetic, recently converted Anabaptist women. Her husband was not. When state authorities discovered her proselytizing, they devised a method that they were sure would stop her ministry: They chained Margaret to her home. Thus, the reasoning went, she could prepare food and look after her children, but could not leave the house.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, this chaining was carried out no fewer than 21 times over the course of 11 years between 1610 and 1621. Margaret, you see, was the original escape artist. Because no sooner had the chains been put on her ankle and fastened to the floor, she was free again. The authorities suspected that her husband or a sympathetic neighbor woman helped her. She disregarded the order to receive no visitors to her home. She continued to win female converts to the Anabaptist movement, sneaking out when she was less likely to be spotted.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Margaret did not leave for Moravia to escape the constant harassment, like most of the other Anabaptists in the area did during this time. She stayed, not to renounce her faith but to face down her persecutors, cheerfully, with a smile on her face, the records indicate, year after year after year. After 1621, the records on Margaret Hellwart fall silent. She was then 53 and by the standards of the time, old. There seems no doubt she got her wish to die as an Anabaptist.<\/p>\n<p>In what disarming and brazen ways this Margaret \u201ccrossed the line\u201d to defend her faith. She risked everything, giving new meaning to the expression: \u201cNevertheless, she persisted!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2: Margaret (&#8216;Speedy&#8217;) Martin Gehman<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33932\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33932\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2017\/06\/dr-susan-schultz-huxman-welcomes-crossing-line-anabaptist-womens-history-conference-emu\/margeret-gehman-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-33932\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-33932 size-medium\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2017\/06\/margeret-gehman-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2017\/06\/margeret-gehman-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2017\/06\/margeret-gehman.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33932\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Margaret Martin Gehman, then 88, sitting in a 1967 VW Bug she donated to the university. (EMU file photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This second story is about a remarkable Anabaptist woman right here at EMU. Since you will be spending some time at this conference in an <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/tag\/margaret-martin-gehman-art-gallery\/\">art gallery named for her<\/a> and since you will be spending time in and out of many buildings on this campus that Margaret helped finance or gifted us, I thought you might be interested in the ways this Margaret has and continues to cross all kinds of barriers \u2014\u00a0with great speed!<\/p>\n<p>Margaret grew up in a very conservative Mennonite home. From early on, she loved her faith <em>and<\/em> she loved to run! She wore out so many girls\u2019 shoes \u2014 they were flimsy \u201cslippers,\u201d she said, so finally her dad bought her boys&#8217; shoes \u2014 high tops. She loved them \u2014 she could run faster! But she made them more feminine-looking by cutting them down to look more graceful. And she kept running.<\/p>\n<p>In 1944, plain dress, stockings, covering and all, Margaret was hired as the Eastern Mennonite School physical education teacher for boys and girls. She introduced tennis, volleyball, ping pong, basketball, tumbling and a game called speed ball \u2014 a hybrid soccer and basketball game. Margaret modeled these athletic activities with speed, finesse and fierce competitiveness to the delight and shock of her many students over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Margaret developed a reputation for dashing up and down the courts, and across campus, and was called \u201cthe queen of the tennis court\u201d \u2014 dispensing with both male and female opponents in quick order. It was her students who nick-named her \u201cSpeedy.\u201d She did devise a less restrictive \u201cdress\u201d to play basketball and tennis in \u2014 a \u201ccoolot\u201d \u2014 she called it. And she said: \u201cNo one told me I couldn\u2019t wear it.\u201d Margaret became a dramatic example of the old adage: \u201cDo not be deceived by appearances!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1962, Margaret left for Vanderbilt University to earn her doctorate in physical education. She was the only woman in the class and, as she said, \u201cI must have looked a sight to these mostly Southern gentlemen \u2014 who at that time relaxed by smoking and drinking while I \u2014 the most wicked thing I did was drink milk from a straw.&#8221; While at Vanderbilt, she also earned a minor in art \u2014 with a specialty in water colors. And so she taught art here at EMU too.<\/p>\n<p>In 1967, unbeknownst to colleagues, Margaret married E. G. Gehman, who taught German at EMU. They were married during Mennonite World Conference in Amsterdam. (She was speedy in courtship, too, I guess.)<\/p>\n<p>Modeling the most frugal of lifestyles, Margaret developed another superb skill set: wealth management and generous philanthropy to EMU. In 2005, Margaret was honored with the Philanthropist of the Year award for her \u201cfull court\u201d investment in EMU: giving generously to the University fund, multiple capital campaigns and student scholarships.<\/p>\n<p>Today, at age 95, Margaret lives at Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community. She is still witty, quick with a smile and while she uses a walker \u2014 don\u2019t be deceived: She is still speedy! Ask some of her friends and they will tell you, \u201cMargaret will mow you down if you don\u2019t get out of the way!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an era when there were still questions about women and exertion, and perspiration, and varsity level competition, and whether women and men should play sports together, Margaret \u201cSpeedy\u201d Martin Gehman did it her way. She \u201ccrossed the line\u201d to live her faith, her passion for athletics and art, and her extraordinary first-fruits-giving to EMU\u2019s mission and people.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you take sustenance from the tale of these two Margarets!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy learning from each other this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you find \u201cshalom&#8221; in the Shenandoah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman, president of Eastern Mennonite University, offered the following welcome and introductory remarks at an opening session Thursday, June 22, 2017, for a three-day conference, &#8220;Crossing the <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2017\/dr-susan-schultz-huxman-welcomes-crossing-line-anabaptist-womens-history-conference-emu\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman welcomes &#8216;Crossing the Line&#8217;
