Geocache Description:


This purpose of this placement is to share information in an enjoyable manner. It is not intended to offend nor to coerce any values of the geocacher. The CO felt that the content is of interest, and for that purpose alone makes this listing.

The Anabaptist denomination of Christianity is a most unique branch of faith.

At its core, the Anabaptists are known for their rejection of infant baptism, and their emphasis on believer's baptism, a practice of baptizing only those who have made a personal confession of faith. This sets them apart from traditional Catholicism and other Christian denominations that practice infant baptism.

Anabaptists also place a strong emphasis on the separation of church and state, and on the autonomy of local congregations. They also emphasize on nonviolence and have a strong commitment to social justice and peace, which sets them apart from traditional Catholicism and other denominations that have been involved in wars and persecution.

In terms of worship, Anabaptists tend to have a more simple and unadorned style, with an emphasis on the reading of scripture and the sharing of personal testimony. They also place a strong emphasis on community and fellowship, and they often form small, tight-knit congregations.

Over all, the Anabaptist denomination is known for its rejection of infant baptism, its emphasis on believer's baptism, its commitment to non-violence, and its focus on community and social justice. It's a faith that encourages its followers to think.
