On January 21, 1525, a small group of Christians secretly gathered in Zurich for a worship service. There they renounced their baptism as infants and experienced voluntary baptism as adults, now in the full understanding that this decision implied a transformation of life in the way of Jesus. For many, this decision led to imprisonment, torture, and even death. But this gathering also marked the beginning of the Anabaptist movement that continues today in the form of the Amish, Hutterites, Mennonites, Church of the Brethren, and many other related groups.

Anabaptism at 500—A Unique Opportunity to Celebrate and Dream

Five centuries ago a group of young people, inspired by the teachings of Christ, launched a renewal movement whose central themes are still relevant today. The 500th anniversary of the Anabaptist movement offers the church a unique opportunity to reflect on the past, to celebrate God’s ongoing faithfulness, and to dream about the future.

As our world continues to evolve and change, the church needs to offer creative, imaginative resources that invite people to faith and inspire courageous discipleship.

MennoMedia’s vision is to lead the way in helping North American Anabaptist Christians experience spiritual renewal by creating fresh, forward-looking resources for Anabaptism’s quincentenary celebration.

The resources generated by Anabaptism at 500 will offer spiritual inspiration, connection, education, and an invitation of renewal to the Anabaptist community and the broader Christian church.

WE INVITE YOU TO PARTNER WITH US AT MENNOMEDIA
