Conservative Anabaptism includes theologically conservativeAnabaptist denominations, both in doctrine and practice.[1] Conservative Anabaptists, along withOld Order Anabaptists and assimilated mainline Anabaptists, are a subset of the Anabaptist branch ofChristianity.[1][2]

Conservative Anabaptists adhere toAnabaptist doctrine, such as the belief innonresistance and the observance ofplain dress (including theheadcovering), while making judicious use of modern technology.[1]Ordinances commonly observed in many Conservative Anabaptist churches include "baptism,communion,footwashing,marriage,anointing with oil, theholy kiss, and theprayer covering."[3]

Conservative Anabaptists may haveSunday school, holdrevival meetings, or operate their ownChristian schools (parochial schools).[1][4] Additionally, Conservative Anabaptist fellowships are often engaged inevangelism andmissionary work; a 1993 report showed that Conservative Anabaptist denominations in general grew by fifty percent overall within the previous fifteen years.[5]

Among Conservative Anabaptists are theDunkard Brethren Church,Conservative Mennonites, andBeachy Amish, as well as theBruderhof Communities,Apostolic Christian Church and theCharity Christian Fellowship.[6] Conservative Anabaptists form 15% of Anabaptist Christianity as a whole.[1]

In response to a perceived laxity in adherence to Anabaptist doctrine and practice, certain Conservative Anabaptist denominations, such as theBiblical Mennonite Alliance and theDunkard Brethren Church, were formed after adherents separated from their parent (usually mainline Anabaptist) bodies;[7][8] on the other hand, theBeachy Mennonites are composed of individuals who leftOld Order Anabaptist groups and "were deeply committed to evangelism and mission work."[9] Other Conservative Anabaptist denominations, such asCharity Christian Fellowship, have been organized by people from diverse backgrounds.[10]

Various congregations lend support to Christian Aid Ministries, a Conservative Anabaptist missionary and relief organization[11] known for postingbillboard messages throughout the United States and Canada.[12]Beside The Still Waters is adaily devotional widely used by Conservative Anabaptists.[13]
