The Amish have their roots in the Mennonite community. Both were part of the early Anabaptist movement in Europe, which took place at the time of the Reformation.
Who came first the Amish or the Mennonites?
Mennonites are significantly older than Amish by about 136 years. The first use of the term “Mennonite” was around 1544, and the first use of the term “Amish” was around 1680.
Why did the Amish split from the Mennonites?
In the late 1600s, Anabaptist leader Jacob Ammann and his followers promoted "shunning" and other religious innovations, which ultimately led to a split among the Swiss Anabaptists into Mennonite and Amish branches in 1693. The population of North American Amish grew slowly in the 18th- and 19th-centuries.
