A '''Mennonite''' is an adherent to an [[Anabaptist]] movement begun in the 1500's by [[Menno Simons]] in Holland and others earlier in Zurich, Switzerland. They practice adult (believer's) [[baptism]], [[pacifism]] (correctly it is called non-resistance), simple living and have an emphasis on community. Mennonites do not reject the notion of [[sola scriptura]]. Mennonites historically believe in applying the Scriptures to everyday life in the context of community.
