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?

Possibilities for Helping First and foremost, Spread the Word! Tell everybody you know about our site, let your church leaders know and get your congregation involved. The more people that know, the more our site will grow until we truly become a global community. 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. Submit your story We want to hear about your story. Why are you an Anabaptist? What transformative experiences have you faced within the Anabaptist faith? What is it about your country that shapes your Anabaptist faith? The possibilities are endless. Stories are a unique and important part of this site because it is in these stories that we can begin to understand other Anabaptists around the world and generate understanding. Upload sources
