We seek to promote the understanding and practice of Mennonite and other Anabaptist beliefs and values. This is achieved through the provision of practical support and funding for Christian workers, like-minded organisations and community projects. Study bursaries and materials are also made available, and a network of Anabaptist groups in the UK is facilitated.
