Mennonites (again, as far as I know) generally believe in adult baptism, non-violence (specifically no participation in the military), and economic sharing. I believe they generally avoid involvement in politics. Like many other Protestant denominations, they seem to be experiencing increasingly divergent views on issues such as divorce and same-sex marriage.
