Scope and content
The idea of bringing Mennonites of the world together for a united meeting originated in the late 1800s among different Mennonite leaders in Europe and North America. Mennonite publications occasionally discussed this proposal, but the first Mennonite World Conference (MWC) did not take place until 1925
