Mennonites became active in England in 1952 through a ministry to international students studying in England and in need of housing. Today, the Mennonite Centre Trust is a resource agency with two main objectives: To provide support and resources for the wider Anabaptist movement.
To ensure that the Anabaptist movement continues to draw on the legacy and experience of the global Mennonite community.
In the 1970s, Mennonite mission workers began relating to Christians seeking to bring new life into churches in a post-Christian society. The Anabaptist Network was created to provide a forum for Christians to explore how the early Anabaptist model might shape the church in England.
