| Sumario: | One might well think that a minority church with a variety of different origins ought to be well prepared for existence in a pluralist society. The fact is that the Baptist-Mennonite tradition ever since the 16th century has sought to see itself as alternative to the nationalistically-based Volkskirchen. Consciously, or unconsciously this has forced Mennonites to look for a pluralistic approach, especially since they have rejected any deliberately unifying elements. But we have to drawn distinctions. The two theological axioms special to Mennonites are the need for freedom of religion and conscience, and the rejection of violence. Their contribution to the ecumenical movement may well be in showing how these tenets contribute towards a pluralistic formation of society. |
