A Mennonite is an adherent to an Anabaptist movement begun in the 1500's by Menno Simons. They practice adult baptism, pacifism, simple living and have an emphasis on community. Mennonites reject the notion of sola scriptura, believing instead that the Bible was inspired when it was written and therefore must be inspired when it is read.

Mennonites can be found in all parts of the globe, although they are chiefly to be found in North America (including Latin America), South America (Argentina) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Some Old Order Mennonites have a simply way of living, wear traditional clothes and avoid modern technology. Other Mennonites use the same types of technology and wear the same types of clothes as other modern people. Some Mennonites shun the Amish.

Disaster relief

Mennonites are strongly involved with disaster relief, particularly through the Mennonite Central Committee and Mennonite Disaster Services.

Separation and distincit believes

The Old order Mennonites choose to shun themselves from the outside mainly becuase they believe the technogoly that we use has been created by the devil and it is pure evil although there have been times when these groups have used technogoly such as when there is an emergency they will phone for help. Some of these communties also do not meet churches rather homes. Funerals are also quite different they dress in all white as if they were angels read from the Ordung , proceed to recite the lord's prayer and then gather in a home where there pray for many hours for the deceased persons soul.
