[edit] Stauffer Mennonites

Stauffer or Pike Mennonites are Team Mennonites, meaning they use horse drawn transportation. They were founded in 1845. After their conception, they eventually began to schism into separate churches themselves. Today these groups are among the most conservative of all Swiss Mennonites outside the Amish. They stress strict separation the 'world', adhere to social avoidance of excommunicated members, forbid and limit cars and technology much like the Amish and wear very plain clothing. They are now considered to be part of the larger less-conservative Horse and Buggy Old Order Mennonite group which formed from later schisms.
