The Mennonites, a Protestant religious group descended from the 16th century Anabaptists (deny infant baptism), take their name from Menno Simons, a Dutch Roman Catholic priest converted to the Anabaptist faith. The Mennonites rejected infant baptism, the swearing of oaths, military service, and worldliness. They practiced strong church discipline in their congregations and lived simple, honest, loving lives in emulation of the earliest Christians.
