Anabaptism@500
Commemorating 500 years of the Anabaptist movement
On 29 May 2025, Mennonite World Conference (MWC) will welcome guests from around the world to The Courage to Love: Anabaptism@500. The day-long celebration commemorates the birth of the Anabaptist movement in Zurich, Switzerland. Following workshops, concerts, a panel discussion and self-guided historical walking tours, participants will gather for a worship service with ecumenical participation at the Grossmünster cathedral.
But the anniversary of the Anabaptist movement is not only in focus on May 29 in Zurich: throughout the year, various events are taking place around the world to reflect on, honor and commemorate the movement and what it has become today.
From lectures to exhibitions to church services, a diverse program is being created that appeals to a wide range of people.
