Are You Mennonites?

We are asked this question many times, by people from our community, when they see our sisters with their head veiling.  Many of the members of our fellowship do have Mennonite or Amish backgrounds, and many in the community call us Mennonites because of our attire, but we prefer to be called Christians or followers of Christ rather than followers of Menno Simons which is where the name Mennonite comes from. We do believe the Anabaptist's, of the 16th and 17th centuries were true people of God.
