Abe Dueck receives AMA Award of Recognition
The Association for Manitoba Archives (AMA) awarded Abe Dueck with the Award of Recognition at their Annual General Meeting on September 25, "...in recognition of the leadership in the use and understanding of the Mennonite Brethren Church's documentary heritage and in appreciation for service to the archival community".
The award is given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the development of archives in Manitoba.
Abe Dueck was the director of the Centre for Mennonite Brethren Studies, located in Winnipeg, for twelve years and since 1980 has been an active member of the Historical Committee, which gives overall direction to the Centre.
While at the helm of the Centre, Dueck used the archival documents to examine, interpret, and tell the story of the Mennonite Brethren Church in Canada. With education in church ministry, teaching, and reformation history Dueck is a sought after teacher, lecturer, and consultant in the community.
In addition to his post at the archives, he has been a long-standing board member of the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society, the bi-national Mennonite Brethren Historical Commission, and board member of the AMA.
