Special Collections

This page includes a number of useful links to collections which offer further information about Mennonites and Anabaptists.

"Bearing Witness: Martyrdom and Costly Discipleship in the Anabaptist-Mennonite Tradition" This collection includes resources on topics related to martyrdom, costly discipleship, and the challenge of memory among groups in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition.

Online Anabaptist-Mennonite Library In 2012, GAMEO transferred its online library (then called the Anabaptist Mennonite Ethereal Library) containing the full texts of significant Mennonite confessions of faith and position statements on a variety of issues. These valuable sources can now be found here.

"Right Remembering": Anabaptist-Mennonites in Conversation with Other Christians This collection offers a window into the relatively recent involvement of Mennonite (and Anabaptist-related groups) in ecumenical engagements of various sorts. Some expressions of Mennonite ecumenicity have emerged in response to formal invitations from other Christian groups seeking a "healing of memory" in light of the conflict that surrounded our origins in the 16th century. Other ecumenical encounters have been more informal--lay initiatives seeking deeper understanding and reconciliation at a local level. This site provides access to bibliographic information on Anabaptist-Mennonite ecumenical involvements, texts of working papers and formal statements, an overview of the emerging reception history and links to other resources.
