Mennonites on the Web: Keeping the faith with social media

From horse and buggy to hanging out with Twitter buddies, Mennonites have travelled far from the stereotypes that exist in society of them as "having lots of children and old-fashioned clothes", being "technology averse", and others.

When it comes to Mennonites, the stereotypes came about from a limited exposure to aspects of small segments of their community. Many have now accepted varying uses of technology as it suits their lifestyle and personal choices, while demonstrating they can still remain faithful to their beliefs.
