Mennonites Profile History Beliefs Issues ... Bibliography I. Group Profile Name: Mennonites Founder: Conrad Grebel Date of Birth: Birth Place: Zurich, Switzerland Year Founded: January 21, 1525 Sacred or Revered Texts: The Bible is the sacred text of the Mennonites. Cult or Sect: Negative sentiments are typically implied when the concepts "cult" and "sect" are employed in popular discourse. Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes. For a more detailed discussion of both scholarly and popular usage of the concepts "cult" and "sect," please visit our Conceptualizing "Cult" and "Sect" page, where you will find additional links to related issues. Size of Group: The Mennonites are located all over the world, but they are mostly concentrated in The United States and Canada. The Mennonites claim to have over 1 million members spanning 60 countries. According to statistics reported by the Mennonite World Conference in 1996, there were 415,978 baptized members in Canada and the U.S., 322,708 members in Africa, 157,075 in Asia and the Pacific, 102,496 in Central and South America, and only 61,886 left in Europe.

Peace Church Bible Study Home Page Welcome! This web site is for anyone with an interest in the Bible and the "Historic Peace Churches" (Brethren, Mennonites, Quakers). I hope this site will: Help bridge the gap between academic/scholarly readers of the Bible and non-academics, and between "believers" and those who feel no religious affinity for the biblical text. Help people who want to learn the languages in which the earliest manuscripts of the Bible are written: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. I'm particularly interested in those who are studying these languages outside a formal classroom setting for whatever reason. Help Brethren, Mennonites, Quakers (and anyone who feels an affinity for any of these groups) to engage Scripture more deeply. Offer ideas for working with Scripture ecumenically and in interfaith settings. Give me some practice learning HTML and web page design. Please let me know what you think about how I'm doing with any of this. I'm especially interested in communicating and synergizing with folks who share any of these goals and interests. Thanks! Grace and peace of the Lord to you!
