| | Mennonites believe that they need to not only believe and affirm the scriptures, but also to live them in their day-to-day lives. | | | Mennonites do not focus on proselytizing but spread their beliefs through helping others in need around the world and in their communities. | | | Most recently, the Confession of Faith from a Mennonite Perspective, in Article 22, details the current position held by The Mennonite Church, and it links these positions to specific references from The Holy Bible on which the Mennonite religion is based. |
