These Christians rejected infant baptism, choosing instead believer's baptism Since many of them had been baptized in their infancy, they chose to be rebaptized as believing adults So their enemies called them anabaptists "re-baptizers."

With over one million members, the Mennonite church has been in existence for more than 475 years, expressing their faith in various ways and including a wide variety of people: from a Midwest farmer, to an European architect; from the African chieftain, to the South American sociologist. Although they speak dozens of languages, the thousands of different Mennonite congregations count themselves as one family of faithone of many faith families in the Christian church. The Mennonite (Anabaptist) faith movement began in Europe in the 16th Century when a small group of believers challenged the reforms of Martin Luther and others during the Protestant Reformation, saying they were not radical enough and calling for adult rather than infant baptism. In 1525, several members set themselves apart from the official church by publicly declaring their faith in Jesus Christ and re-baptizing each other.

    Extractions: Amish Mennonites are that segment of the Swiss-Alsatian-South German Anabaptist-Mennonites and their descendants in North America who are the offspring of the group who under the leadership of Elder Jakob Ammann, of Erlenbach, canton of Bern, Switzerland, in 1693-97 separated from the main body in Switzerland. Since the full story of this division is told in the Amish Division article, it remains only to say that Ammann must have visited the Markirch (Alsace) congregation about the same time, where he excommunicated some members, and that he almost immediately got into a controversy with the ministers of the Palatinate who tried to effect a reconciliation. He found almost united support from the ministers of Alsace, but proceeded to place most of the Palatine ministers under the ban . In a few years Ammann and his associates decided they had been too rash and tried to effect a reconciliation, failing largely because they confessed only to an error in method and spirit while refusing to surrender their demand for the Meidung . Thus the division was made permanent because of the intransigence of Ammann. Ammann also held strict views on other points, including the wearing of the untrimmed beard, uniformity in

    Extractions: Overview Visitor Info Amish Attractions ... Online Shopping Here are some questions and answers about the Amish, the Mennonites, the Brethren, and the other "Plain People" of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Who are the Amish? Are they the same as the Pennsylvania Dutch? The Amish are a religious group who live in settlements in 22 states and Ontario, Canada. The oldest group of Old Order Amish, about 16-18,000 people live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Amish stress humility, family and community, and separation from the world. Although Lancaster Amish are Pennsylvania Dutch, all Pennsylvania Dutch are not Amish. The Pennsylvania Dutch are natives of Central Pennsylvania, particularly Lancaster and its surrounding counties. Unlike the Amish, they are not all one religion. Instead, their common bond is a mainly German background (Pennsylvania Dutch is actually Pennsylvania Deutsch, or German). They also have Welsh, English, Scottish, Swiss, and French ancestry. What is the history of the Amish?

    Extractions: As one of the world's historic peace churches, Mennonites are followers of Christ serving as activists, relief workers and volunteers throughout the world. This Christian community is rooted in peacemaking, simple living and service to others throughout the world. Below, you will find a large list of Mennonite-related Web sites The Mennonites trace their origins to Anabaptism, one of several Reformation movements in Switzerland and Holland during the early part of the 16th century. Anabaptists broke with both the Catholic church and the reform movements inspired by Martin Luther, John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli believing that church membership should be a matter of adult decision, rather than infant baptism. The Anabaptists' view of the Bible led them to decide that they could not swear allegiance to any earthly ruler or serve in an army, rather promising loyalty to Christ and His call of faithful peace and love as expressed in the gospels and the New Testament. They were consequently seen as a threat by both Catholic and Reformed rulers, and heavily persecuted. Menno Simons Those unfamiliar with the Mennonite Church may associate the word "Mennonite" with images of plain clothes, bonnets, buggies and long beards. But many Mennonites are virtually indistinguishable from other sections of society in appearance, even if they remain set apart in some of their beliefs and practices — followers of Jesus Christ committed to lives of service and peace.

If I don't want to dig through all the websites online one by one, what books do you suggest I use to get an introduction? Remember, I am looking for just the basics."
