ALTONA, MB
Influential author Philip Yantsied resigned his position this week after his moral failings were revealed. The news hit hard particularly in the Mennonite communities.
“I’m saddened by the news, but it also doesn’t surprise me that such things would happen over there in Yantsied,” said Mrs. Reimer. “From now on I’m going to stick to reading good wholesome books by Philip Ditsied instead.”
Philip Yantsied rose to stardom in the 90s with books like What’s So Amazing About Grace Heppner? and The Frintschoft I Never Knew.
“We’ve taken all his books out of the thrift store,” said Mrs. Reimer. “We’re sending them over to Steinbach. If those Yantsieders want them, they can have them.”
The news is the biggest scandal to hit southern Manitoba since everyone found out about Randy Zacharias.
