Established in 2016, Reformed Old Order Mennonites are the newest expression of the Old Order Anabaptist tradition. Like all other Old Order groups, Reformed Old Order Mennonites adhere to the Dordrecht Confession of Faith (Mennonite, 1632), use the King James Version of the Bible, and revere the Martyrs Mirror. A clear set of church guidlines is in the process of formation as is the group itself, as of late 2016.
As the word "Reformed" suggests, the group is a new expression of an old tradition. For example, although progressive, environmentally aware Reformed Old Order Mennonites do not use cars, preferring public transportation like buses or trains. Similarly, emphasis is placed on sustainable living and naturally and locally grown foods, preferably organic. Technologically, their urban lifestyle allows the use of computers in business, but not for personal use. Further, their desire for simplicity is expressed by not allowing WIFI or television in the home, along with disallowing cellphone use. Simple dress is required in addition to a general avoidance of materialism and wordly entertainments like video gaming and professional sports. Lifestyle emphasis is upon keeping conservative biblical standards in personal and business decisions.
