Protestant Reformation (1525) Formation of a fellowship of Anabaptists (rebaptizers) Menno Simons, a Catholic priest Jacob Amman (1693) – his followers became known as “Amish” 1. Baptism: to baptize only those who place voluntary faith in Christ 2. Confrontation: to practice the discipline of confrontation leading to reconciliation or removal (as opposed to torture and execution) for those who hold opposing beliefs 3. Communion: to practice the Lord’s Supper in memory of Christ (not as a sacrament to receive God’s grace) 4. Separation: to be separate from the world of evil, sin and violence (including all Protestant and Catholic churches to the extent that they embrace the world) 5) Leadership: that Pastors (not priests) shall be chosen by local churches (not appointed by a dominating hierarchy) and will lead us as servants of the congregation 6) The Sword: to reject all violence, whether for attack, defense or punishment and to refuse employment by the state, who bears the sword outside of the perfection of Christ 7) The Oath: not to swear oaths of loyalty or word-keeping, which may be necessary for adversaries but not for brothers and sisters working together for common good Swiss-South German Dutch-North German Migrations since the 1920s Simply a label connected to one of our protestant leaders, Menno Simons Within the Mennonite faith there are many groupings It is important to know which group you are talking about
