Learning to follow the peaceful Way of Jesus
We believe that the Anabaptist-Mennonite story offers an alternative and inspiring perspective to our contemporary society and has potential to inspire people to make new connections with the life of Jesus and his followers. We hope to energise people in their search for truth and wholeness and equip them to live distinctively in a post-Christendom world.
