ABOUT US
The Anabaptist Association links people in Australia and New Zealand who share a passion for Jesus, community and reconciliation.
The network finds inspiration from the life of Jesus, the earliest church and the convictions of the first Anabaptist communities, to be peacemakers and people who dream about and work for a more compassionate world.
Do you sometimes find Christianity to be too corporate?
Have you ever been hurt by a church?
Maybe you think Jesus is worth following but feel like his message has been hijacked, or hidden by the institutional church.
Do you feel that we need a fresh look at the church’s teaching and mission?
Do you want to do more to give practical help to people rather than just sit in a building on Sunday, and sing and listen?
Anabaptists have been grappling with these issues for hundreds of years. We are a work in progress!
