Who are the Mennonites?
A historic faith
One of the first protestant denominations (Europe 1500's) prizing the Bible and faith in Jesus Christ; named after a Catholic priest, Menno Simons (like Lutherans with Martin Luther).
A distinct faith with a clear focus on:
- separating church and state
- emphasizing believer's baptism symbolizing personal decision to live as a follower of Jesus Christ;
- striving to lead a simple life (while the world extols seeking pleasure from gaining more possessions);
- practicing the way of reconciling love in all human conflicts and helping to build a peaceful world; and
- living interracially and interculturally with over one million adult members in all continents and in over 80 countries.
