Mennonites
Mennonites are a Christian group known for their commitment to nonviolence, community living, and simple lifestyles, influenced by the teachings of Menno Simons in the 16th century. They emphasize principles such as humility, charity, and service to others. Mennonites often practice adult baptism and separation from mainstream society, leading some communities to maintain traditional dress and farming practices. Today, they can be found worldwide, with varying degrees of modernization, from those living in plain communities to more contemporary congregations actively engaging with broader society. Their focus on peace and social justice remains central to their faith and identity.
