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 reject the notion of [[sola scriptura]], believing instead that the Bible was inspired when it was written and therefore must be inspired when it is read.
