Chester Weaver shares on the Mennonites and lessons we can learn from their history. Mennonites migrated to four separate regions in Russia when they were pushed out of Prussia. At each of the four new locations, they prospered financially. Doing so, they developed an attitude of superiority toward the native local population. At each new location, they governed themselves as a tiny commonwealth within greater Russia.
This self-government forced them to become small state churches because they needed to enforce their own laws. The Kleine Gemeinde was the first renewal movement among the Russian Mennonites, and the Mennonite Brethren was the second renewal movement.

There's three basic Anabaptist groups. It's the Swiss, like we talked about already. Then there's the Hutterites, which have been more to the east in Moravia. They have a completely different story, but they're just as Anabaptists as we are. And then we have the Dutch Mennonites, where Menno Simons was, which is in Holland. And that's a completely different story. And so we, as Anabaptist people, help ourselves quite a bit if we're conversant with all three stories. We don't do well if we only know our own story. Many of our own people, the Swiss people, don't even know our story, let alone the other three stories.
