Welcome · Anabaptist History Today · Anabaptist History Today

Welcome!

Join us in recording Anabaptist life in today’s changing world. Historical, biological, and social realities and changes since 2020 have impacted our lives in profound ways. Anabaptist History Today invites you to share your stories as you live in these times (para español, haga clic aquí).

As someone who identifies as Anabaptist, you might focus on how the novel coronavirus pandemic has impacted your life or the life of your congregation. You might reflect on engaging the Black Lives Matter movement’s call for racial justice. You might share art responding to everyday moments or global conversations. You might share how your faith and practices help you through the day, or maybe how they don’t.

Sixteen Anabaptist history organizations are working together to invite, preserve, and share your stories. This effort builds community, educates today, and will become part of the historical record for the future.

Anabaptist History Today thanks the Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest at Villanova University for its support.
