Description

The Mennonites are a Christian faith stream established in the Netherlands in the 16th century. They are a pacifist faith and live largely without technology. They have spread across the globe through Russia to North America and then 100 years ago into South America. Now as they search for more farming land they have set up a community in Northen Angola.
