Welcome to the Global Anabaptist Wikipedia Community Portal

The Global Anabaptist Wikipedia Community Portal is the place where you can find out about what is happening on the site. Here you can learn about what our staff members are doing to improve the site and what still needs to be completed.

What Can I Do to Help?

Help From Anyone

First and foremost, Spread the Word!

Tell everybody you know about our site, let your church leaders know and get your congregation involved.

Write an article

We only have so many people working on our staff at the moment and there is only so much we can do in terms of adding content. The best possible solution, and one we are working towards, is having the site entirely populated by community content. Do you have interest in a specific area of Anabaptist culture? Write an article! Do you want your congregation to have an area accessible to the wider global community? Write an article! It shouldn't take more than an hour or two and that information is then immediately available to the wider global Anabaptist community.
