The [[:Anabaptistwiki:About|'''Global Anabaptist Wiki''']] is an interactive community of Anabaptist-Mennonite groups from around the world. Initiated by the
 
[http://www.goshen.edu/mhl Mennonite Historical Library] at [http://www.goshen.edu/ Goshen College], the site is committed to helping individual groups:  1) tell their own
 
[[Anabaptistwiki:stories|stories]]; 2) post and preserve electronic archives; and 3) become better informed about other groups in the global Anabaptist fellowship. Like all wiki-based projects, this is a collaborative venture that relies on the local expertise
 
of many people.
 
 
''[Please Note: This project is still in its early stages of construction. To explore updates, view our [[Special:NewPages | recently added pages]] or [[Special:RecentChanges | recent changes]]

In addition to including basic information about specific regions and Anabaptist-related groups, the Global Anabaptist Wiki is a place for collecting personal stories that highlight what it means to be an Anabaptist-Mennonite in your part of the world.  You don't have to be an expert! Just contribute your own stories about your life as an Anabaptist or Mennonite in your own context.

We envision the Global Anabaptist Wiki to become a major site for primary sources related to the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition: from the 16th century to the present and in a wide variety of languages. Please post any public domain sources you think might be of interest to other users of the Global Anabaptist Wiki. Our staff will help to sort and organize source material into appropriate categories as it is added.

  • To learn about contributing sources, start at the about sources page.
