About MSC - Our Name
What’s
in a name?
Menno Simons College takes its name from Menno Simons, a 16th-Century
Dutch priest who became a leader within a radical religious group of "re-baptizers" or Anabaptists.
In his writings, Menno Simons reinforces the key elements of Anabaptism: complete discipleship, a strong sense of community and an absolute rejection of violence to solve problems in the church or society.
Over time, the Anabaptist groups came to be called Mennists or Mennonites.
