Mennonite World Review
NEWTON, Kan. — Robert M. Schrag, editor of Mennonite Weekly Review for 27 years during a half-century career with the newspaper, died Jan. 26 at his home. He was 81. From 1960 to 2011, Schrag helped to shape MWR’s identity as an independent, news-driven journal promoting Mennonite unity, affirming Anabaptist beliefs and observing world events through the lens of Christian faith.
