Pilgrimage is pursuing membership in the Mennonite Church USA, a Christian denomination and one of the historic "peace churches." Mennonites place a high importance on following Jesus as revealed in the Gospels and interpreted through the community of believers. Here are a few resources for those who want to learn more about Mennonites.

• From the Mennonite Church USA website, "Who We Are"
• Third Way: Simply Following Jesus, is a website with a lot of information about Mennonites. This page is a good place to start exploring.

• The video below is really dated in terms of style, but it's the best short introduction in video form that we could find. If you follow suggested videos after watching this one, you might find videos from conservative Mennonites who talk about women not taking leadership roles, or wearing head coverings... That's not us! There are literally dozens of Mennnonite denominations, from Old Order "horse-and-buggy" Mennonites to Mennonite Church USA. Most of these groups work together through mission-oriented organizations like Mennonite Central Committee (global relief, development, and peace) and Mennonite Disaster Service (US/Canada disaster response).
