Traditionally, Mennonites saw affairs of state as none of their business. In times of war, the Mennonite church counseled conscientious objection and spoke against military participation in either combatant or noncombatant roles. Mennonites did not serve in coercive government offices. Most refused to vote or sue in courts of law and held a generally negative view of active political protest.}, recid = {1380465}, pages = {xii, 362 pages :}, address = {Baltimore, Md. :}, year = {1998}, }
