Mennonites in Colombia (original) (raw)

Mennonites in Colombia were until 2016 almost only converts from the general and indigenous Colombian population to the Mennonite faith. Since then conservative Plautdietsch-speaking ethnic Mennonites, who belong to the so-called Russian Mennonites, started to immigrate to Colombia. Converts to the Mennonite faith are both people who speak Spanish and groups with an indigenous Amerindian background, notably Embera-Wounaan. These converts do not differ much from other Protestants in Colombia.
