The Global Mennonite Encyclopedia Online (GAMEO) is an online encyclopedia of more than 16,000 articles related to the Anabaptist movement of the sixteenth century, and to Mennonite, Hutterite, Amish, and Brethren in Christ groups descended from the Anabaptists. GAMEO is owned by six institutional partners, including Mennonite World Conference (MWC), and it enjoys a special relationship with the MWC Faith and Life Commission.
Today, GAMEO is routinely cited as an authoritative source by news organizations, scholars, genealogists and a host of other users.
GAMEO editors are committed to increasing the number of articles from the global church. One way we do this is to add 20 articles each year on topics related to the country or region where the MWC Renewal 2028 event takes place.
