Phil led a discussion regarding the introduction to Unit 1: Origins/Identities of Anabaptism. We shared our current knowledge of the beliefs and qualities that we associated with Anabaptist/Mennonite culture and history. We compared and contrasted Mennonites to the Amish and Lutherans. We also discussed the commonalities of Mennonite lifestyle among our families and relatives. One great idea is to talk to our parents and relatives about how they associate themselves with Mennonites and to learn about their stories. What was the path they took to become a member of the Mennonite church?
