The Mennonite

The Mennonites are a Christian Anabaptist group originating in the 16th century, emphasizing simple living, community, peace, and adult baptism. They often hold traditional values, prioritize nonviolence, and may practice separation from mainstream society. While some Mennonite communities adopt modern lifestyles, others live conservatively, maintaining distinctive dress and customs. Their faith focuses on following Jesus’ teachings, especially about living peacefully and caring for others. The Mennonites have diverse congregations worldwide, with many actively involved in humanitarian efforts and community service.
