Comment on Do Amish evangelize? by Magdalena.
It’s been my experience, as an Anglican in ministry, that the sermons we preach with our lives speak louder than the sermons we preach with our mouths.
Some of the more mainstreamed Mennonite churches do some evangelism, but certainly not along the lines of the churches we call Evangelist, which are based on the teachings of John Calvin. Mennonite/Amish churches are Anabaptist, and and are from a different line of Protestantism. I am of the opinion that the groups who declared themselves Anabaptist and emerged under the guidance of Menno Simons existed apart from official Catholicism before the Reformation. They may have been an isolated Orthodox church that did not acknowledge the Roman authority.
