What is mennonit?

Mennonites are a group of Protestant Christians who follow the teachings of Menno Simons. Their origins can be traced back to the 16th century Reformation in Europe, particularly in Switzerland and the Netherlands. They are known for their strong emphasis on peace, simplicity, and community.

Mennonites believe in adult baptism, pacifism, and the separation of church and state. They are also known for their commitment to living simply and sustainably, often eschewing modern technology and consumer culture.

There are several different branches of Mennonites, including Old Order Mennonites, who are known for their traditional dress and horse and buggy transportation, and Mennonite Brethren, who have a more evangelical focus.

Today, there are over 1.7 million Mennonites worldwide, with significant populations in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia.
