Home The Anabaptists, the Mennonites, and the Amish The Anabaptists Mennonites and Amish are both descended spiritually from the Anabaptists, a radical wing of the Protestant Reformation. In 1525 a group of men and women broke away from Ulrich Zwingli, the Reformed leader in Zurich, Switzerland. Eventually this group became known as Anabaptists. They emphasized following Jesus, being reborn spiritually, taking the Bible seriously, baptizing believers, renouncing the sword, and other distinctives. About one million people in the world now consider themselves to belong to the Anabaptist tradition of faith. The Mennonites Around 1600, many of the Anabaptists came to be called Mennonites, after an early Dutch leader, Menno Simons. The name stuck as these Mennonites migrated to many different countries around the world. Today the 10 nations with the greatest numbers of Mennonites are, in order: United States Congo Canada India Indonesia Ethiopia Germany Tanzania Paraguay Mexico The Amish The Amish broke away from the Mennonites in 1693, under the leadership of Jacob Ammann, after whom the Amish are named. The Amish chose to follow a simpler, more conservative way of life than most Mennonites. Although there are many different Amish groups, each with peculiar characteristics, the Amish generally use horses rather than cars and tractors, live without electricity or make their own from generators, wear dark colored clothing, and speak Pennsylvania Dutch. Since they typically have large families, the numbers of Amish in this country are growing at a significant rate.

Extractions: From The California Native Newsletter: The Mennonites of Chihuahua A man wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and a long black coat drives his horse-and-buggy to the market. He passes farms where blond-haired children work in the fields, the girls wearing large Little-House-on-the-Prairie bonnets and wide skirts, the boys wearing striped bib-overalls and straw hats. This scene, reminiscent of an earlier time in the United States, still takes place today in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. In 1922, at the invitation of President Alvaro Obregón, 20,000 Mennonites came to Mexico from Canada to settle on 247,000 acres of land in Chihuahuas San Antonio Valley. The immigration was profitable for both Mexico and the Mennonites. In Canada there had been friction between the Mennonites and the Canadian governmentthe Mennonites do not believe in educating their children past the sixth grade, else they become too worldly and stray from their religion, and they do not believe in serving in the military. The Mexican government was seeking farmers to settle the land which had previously been owned by William Randolph Hearst, who had been expelled from the country along with the other foreign landowners, following the Mexican Revolution. The two parties made an agreement whereby the Mennonites would purchase the land from the Mexican government and their children would be forever exempted from the educational laws of Mexico and from serving in its armed forces. In addition, the Mennonites were exempted from paying taxes for fifty years.

Thought for the Week I am a member of the Church of the Brethren, and grew up in the Mennonite Church, so I guess you could call me a true Anabaptist. The word itself means to be re-baptized and was originally a derogatory nickname given by outsiders. The German word is Taufer. One of the main tenets of the Anabaptist movement was Believer's Baptism. They believed that Baptism should take place when one becomes an adult. Incidentally, I was re-baptized when I joined the Church of the Brethren in 1955. The Mennonites baptize by pouring and the Brethren by trine immersion. The Brethren no longer require re-baptism for those who were previously baptized by other methods. Tour Group in Zurich, Switzerland In October of 1995, my wife and I spent 11 days on a tour of Europe with what is called the Brethren Heritage Tour . The tour was conducted by Drs. Donald and Hedda Durnbaugh. He is considered the pre-eminent Historian within the Church of the Brethren. The purpose was to tour sites of the early Anabaptists and Radical Pietists from which the Church of the Brethren sprang. Through the experience of being there, I really felt like I had become part of what my ancestors went through in standing up for their beliefs.

Extractions: Doukhobors, Hutterites, and Mennonites The three groups, whom the press and general public continually confused, attracted public disfavour, particularly during and immediately after World War I. As pacifists, the three groups were exempt from military duty. In the confused public mind, moreover, they all spoke German and lived in suspiciously isolated communal settlements. Church groups, service clubs, veterans' associations, and politicians questioned both their loyalty and their opposition to private ownership. Ironically, many venomous anti-Hutterite attacks appearing in the regional press were directed against southern Alberta's Mennonite community. In June 1919, a federal Order-in-Council barred further Hutterite immigration to Canada due to their "... undesirable ... customs, habits, modes of living, and [communal] methods of holding property, and because of their probable inability to become assimilated." The Order was rescinded in 1922, but the underlying animosities that prompted passage of the Order resurfaced during World War II.

In recent years some Mennonites have claimed an ethnic identity apart from religious beliefs. The movement owes its name to Menno Simons (1492-1559) whose followers eventually fled persecution and settled in Russia beginning in 1788. They began to emigrate to North America in the 1870s. Their theology stresses community and is strongly pacifist.

Although they speak dozens of languages, the thousands of different congregations count themselves as one family of faith one of many faith families in the Christian church. Basic Beliefs At the center of Mennonite teaching is the need to believe in Jesus Christ as the One who died and rose from the dead in order that people could live in union with God. Mennonites believe that the life and teaching of Jesus guide our daily living. The Bible is central The church tries to live in obedience to the Word of God the Bible. Mennonites believe that God's spirit, or "Holy Spirit", helps the community of believers understand that Word. New life in Christ Because we are human beings, we all sin: we commit wrongs, we don't do the things we should, and we're out of touch with God. Taking part in regular worship service enables Christians to respond to God with praise and thanks, and to live for Jesus through the week. Voluntary membership/commitment to Christ A church is strong when its members experience God's love and are wholeheartedly committed to its purposes. "Believer's baptism" is practiced to symbolize the decision of an adult to make a public commitment to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Reference: The Mennonite Encyclopedia, Vol. I, A-C. Published by Mennonite Brethren Publishing House, Hillsboro, Kansas, 1956. The proper name of the followers of Jakob Amman is "Amish-Mennonite" although frequently they are referred to simply as Amish. The Amish have kept few records and have produced pratically no literature, not even historical, so it is difficult to trace their history (1). Not all of the descendants have retained the name and the principals of the original group - not at all in Europe most of them having been reunited with the main Mennonite Congregrations. However, there are still in the United States and in Canada those who retain the name and form. In Europe there have been settlements in Montelbeliard, Holland, Bavaria, Galicia, and Volhynia (Russia), most of smaller and lesser significant in size and scope. In the United States, however, there have been many large established settlements, primarily in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and South Dakota. In Ontairo, Canada, a large Amish settlement was formed in Waterloo County, west of Kitchner.

A Christ-centered, biblically based community of faith that began in Europe in the 1500s, now numbering in the millions of members worldwide. BASIC BELIEFS At the center of Mennonite teachings is the need to believe in Jesus Christ as the One who died and rose from the dead in order that people could live in union with God. Mennonites believe that the life and teachings of Jesus guide our daily living. They believe that the church should keep Christ's life and ministry alive in the world, just as though Christ was still living on earth: that's why they refer to the church as "the body of Christ". Mennonites believe that the church is made of people whose sins have been forgiven and who choose to follow Christ's teachings. Mennonites believe that Christians should try to relate to each other and the world in the same loving, forgiving way that Jesus practiced. Here are highlights of seven basic beliefs:

Extractions: To weaken them, to make them our allies, they must be made to embrace our faith. But therein lies the difficulty. Mennonites are among the most united [of all religious groups] and are protected in their error by a language very difficult to learn and a language which they maintain with jealous care, thereby teaching many of us a great lesson. To convert them, it is therefore necessary to speak their language. It seems that Providence wishes to help us. The Reverend Mr. Campeau, devout priest of St. Joseph, has just taken in a little girl of about 10 years of age, Russian in origin and raised among the Mennonites. This child is Roman Catholic, but unfortunately, as is usually the case with her compatriots, she is ignorant of her religion. What great charity it would be for a rich person to see to the education of this little girl. Taught with care in one of our convents, she would be, upon return to her own people, an apostle of our Holy religion and a support for the influence of our nationality. Furthermore, it is certain that the simple act of this generosity would predispose many Mennonites in our favour, because they themselves are very charitable.

Extractions: Chapter Two: Mennonites in Prussia. Section 2.01: Prussia and Danzig. Section 2.02: Danzig and the Werders. The settlement in Prussia was not homogeneous and Mennonites lived in various villages with Protestant (Lutheran and Reformed) as well as Catholic neighbours. Their farming abilities and knowledge of draining marsh land soon proved itself: "Although the Dutch had the lowest, least valuable land, they improved the soil so consistently that their villages in a short time not only equalled but surpassed the more elevated villages of the Teutonic Knights." Section 2.03: Church and Cultural Life. After 1566 there was both a Frisian as well as a Flemish Gemeinde in Danzig, a division dating back to the Netherlands. The Frisian denomination originated in Holland in 1566 in opposition to the Flemish group and was transplanted to Prussia. "After a number of Mennonites had moved from Belgium to the Netherlands, differences arose....between the newly arrived Belgian (Flemish) brethren and the Frisian Mennonites (ME,II,page 337-9). The Frisians took offense at the dress and manners of the Flemish, which they thought were too worldly and too sumptuous, whereas to the mind of the Flemish the Frisians were not sober enough as to the furnishings of their houses" (ME,II, 413). In time the names lost their geographical significance, becoming the names of two Mennonite branches. The Flemish/Frisian division was transferred to West Prussia where they existed side by side in most areas. Variant differences in the observance of communion, baptism, preaching, were noticeable until the end of the 19th century. There was segregation between the Flemish and Frisian Mennonites and those wishing to transfer membership had to be rebaptised. The Flemish Congregations were also referred to as the "clear" "Klarichen" or "Klärischen", or the "Reine". The Frisians were sometimes referred to as the "Grobe" or "Bekümmerte".
