The Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute (MBCI) is a private middle and high school located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was founded in 1945. It has approximately 600 students from Grade 6 to Grade 12. MBCI has a strong volleyball program: both men's and women's teams have won provincial championships.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mhsaa.ca/prov_champions/page-id-50/Volleyball/#aaaa )〕 The band has also won the Optimist Festival's Chairman's Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Manitoba Band Association )〕 Though MBCI is an inclusive school and has students of all kinds, MBCI's culture is most informed by the Mennonite Brethren religious community—a strand of Protestant Anabaptism noted for its adherence to pacifism. In fact, a number of church members declared conscientious objector status rather than participate in WWII.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://gameo.org/index.php?title=Nonresistance )〕 Such culture can be progressive in the sense that it fosters the practice of values and virtues, though occasionally its lack of conflict engagement reinscribes social hierarchies such as paternalism and sexism, best documented in works of Mennonite literature like Miriam Toews' Governor General's Award-winning novel, A Complicated Kindness.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Governor_General%27s_Awards )〕 MBCI's culture is different from many stereotypical high schools; competitive athletes are frequently also members of the band or choir. Such practices are likely a result of the welcoming, community-oriented values of the institution. == Notable alumni == *Cindy Klassen, Olympic medallist in speed skating *Starfield, a Christian music group *Jon Buller, Contemporary Christian artist, founder of Hear the Music Ministries and MHSAA Darts finalist (1988) *Brendan Fehr, Actor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
