April 14, 2024 // Faith Exploration for Everyone: The Anabaptist Story (part 1)

WildWords: Sermons from Wildwood Mennonite Church

An Anabaptist faith is rooted in the story of a particular place and time: the “radical reformation” of 16th century Western Europe. As political and religious shifts raced across the region, a small community of religious radicals challenged the state-sanctioned Christian hierarchies and formed their own churches based around a simple reading of Scripture, the non-violent Way of Jesus, and adult baptism. In spite of intense persecution, the movement spread and the religious denominations they began, including Mennonites, have carried on for 500 years in communities around the globe.
