Do Mennonites come from Germany?
No they do not .Mennonite is a religion not a race or ethnicity Menno Simmons was a dutch catholic priest. His followers were called mennists as a slang, it is from this that the use of the word mennonite came from to describe his followers. Most of the early followers of the mennonite religion came from the area that today is the Netherland's. There are mennonites today that come from many different ethnicitys, example; Asian, African, spanish, English, Russian, etc. Even when it was first started in Europe by Menno Simmons it was not just one specific group of people, there were Swiss anabaptists, dutch anabaptists, frisian anabaptists and so on. It was a movement for religious freedom from the catholic church. Many anabaptists were killed and slaughterd by the catholic church because of there religious belief. To label the mennonites as German is offensive because "mennonite" is a religious following, not a race or specific group of people. Labeling the mennonites as Germans is not correct ; because of what the Germans did in WW 2. It brings upon a religious movement a kind of disrespect and hatred, which is wrong to do. "Mennonite" is a religion not a race or ethnicity.Today there are people from all over the world and from many different races and ethnicity's that follow the mennonite religion.
