When did the Mennonites start?
The Mennonites derive their name from the man they founded their order after. Menno Simons was a Dutch Roman catholic priest who converted after witnessing the execution of an Anabaptist "heretic" in 1531. He converted to the Baptist faith and quickly became a great leader. He was called, at the time, the leader of the "Quiet Anabaptists." He was a strong advocate of pacifism and was against holding any public office and capital punishment. The modern Mennonite movement still holds to these core ideas. The Mennonite denomination became an official organization in about 1536.
