A series of eight programmes 6: Reluctant Rebel
In a remote rural area of Canada lives a close-knit Christian sect whose lifestyle has remained unchanged for four centuries. Grace Jantzen grew up in this community, but love of knowledge led her to question its values and study alternative philosophy to life. Her inquisitiveness cost her marriage, career, family and friends. Grace talks about building a new life, different from but indebted to her Mennonite heritage. 'Their greatest gift to me was a life-shaping hunger for truth, yet in the end it was that which forced me to leave the community, a reluctant rebel'
