Mennonite

Brief history The Mennonites, are part of a religious sect called Anabaptism and were formed during the protestant reformation in the 16th century by Menno Simons (1492-1559). The Anabaptists were greatly influenced by Simons, and his followers became known as Mennonites. He had become a priest at the age of twenty-four, but has blamed himself and his clergy's of a “lax and self-indulgent living” (Graves, 2016, para. 1). This has caused Simons to read the New Testament and committing to living a sober and godly life within his faith. He soon became an Anabaptist leader, and the face of the Mennonite community. In the present day, Mennonites still have the same religious guidelines and are known for their agricultural skills. They purposely separate…

Mennonites and service have been linked together since the early Anabaptist movement more than a few centuries ago. Although there has been this rich history of service in the Mennonite denomination, there has been little work done on the theology of Mennonite service. However, since the conception of Harold S. Bender’s The Anabaptist Vision, in the 1940s, Mennonites have increasing speculated and then developed ideas behind Mennonite service theology. Bender’s influence on theology dominates…

Mennonites are a Biblically-based religious group with a traditional and peaceful objective in their worship of their god. A system of how they worship and acknowledge this deity is practiced and affects almost every area of their lives. They incorporate their belief in a supernatural being in all that they do and follow a set of rules they believe to be given by him. This is demonstrated in my study of the Mennonite church I did through an interview and cultural observation by means of a church…

The Amish: A People Of Perservation Viewing the Amish riding their steed drawn carriages through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, you get a look at how life would have been 150 years back. The Amish, without their power, autos, and TV give off an impression of being a static society, never showing signs of change. This, be that as it may, is only a fantasy.

The Amish live a lifestyle that is both simple and complex. Historically, it would not be inaccurate to say that those outside the faith have little understanding of what the lives of the Amish entail. This is largely in part due to the fact that the Amish faith places restriction on being filmed. As a consequence, interviews with Amish families are few and the information obtained in the amount of available time is limited. People outside of the community of the Amish have little knowledge…
