Mennonite

Named after one of their first leaders, Menno Simons (1469-1561), this group arises from a radical reformation. The Mennonite community adheres to adult baptism, refuses to swear oaths and will not bear arms in the service of their earthly leaders. Through their refusal to bear arms and swear oaths they have experienced sever persecution and have been scattered throughout the world. Many Mennonites live simple lives. MORE! [BM] {VA}
