What is a Mennonite?
The Mennonites are a Christian denomination of the Anabaptist (Anabaptists are Christians who believe in delaying baptism until the candidate confesses his or her own faith) who arose from the teachings of Menno Simons ( a Catholic priest at the time of the Reformation around 1526 or 1527). They follow the Bible closely, and apply it to all their daily life. Separation from worldly trends and fashions, if they are seen to be in violation to God's word, is the standard - although there are conservative and more liberal groups within the Mennonites. They do not practice separation to the extent that the related Amish people do, and have strong evangelistic ministries and missions. Conservative Mennonites are sometimes referred to as the 'Plain People' in reference to their simple style of dressing and living.

So there you go. (I am a Mennonite by the way; and yes, Mennonites do believe in the use of computers; no, Mennonites are not of the Amish - the Amish are actually from the Mennonites - it's the Amish that don't believe in the use of computers)
