David Martin Mennonites
The David Martin Mennonites, officially called Independent Old Order Mennonite Church or Independent Old Order Mennonites,〔(Sam Steiner: ''A Brief History of the “David Martin Mennonites”'' )〕 are a horse and buggy group of Canadian Old Order Mennonites that emerged in 1917. They numbered about 3,500 people in 2010 and live in Wellington County, Ontario and the Waterloo Region. They do not cooperate with other Old Order groups.
== History ==
In 1917 the David Martin Mennonites emerged under the leadership of bishop David W. Martin (1873-1959) from the Old Order Mennonite Conference in Ontario, mainly concerning issues of discipline.〔(''David Martin Mennonites (Ontario, Canada)'' at Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online )〕 In the next decades the young church was not without troubles and struggled to maintain its members. They used the ban on several occasions and growth was slow.〔Donald Martin: ''Old Order Mennonites of Ontario: Gelassenheit, Discipleship, and Brotherhood'', Kitchener, Ontario 2003, page 173-175.〕
In 1954, a group of about 25 people separated from the David Martin Mennonites and in 1956 Elam S. Martin, their minister, was excommunicated from the David Martin Mennonites. This Elam Martin group with others formed the Orthodox Mennonites in 1957.〔Donald Martin: ''Old Order Mennonites of Ontario: Gelassenheit, Discipleship, and Brotherhood'', Kitchener, Ontario 2003, page 178/9.〕 Since then the David Martins adopted a policy not to talk to outsiders about their faith. "We have lost too many people", bishop David W. Martin stated.〔Donald Martin: ''Old Order Mennonites of Ontario: Gelassenheit, Discipleship, and Brotherhood'', Kitchener, Ontario 2003, page 175.〕 The David Martins have grown rapidly through natural increase since 1958.〔(''David Martin Mennonites (Ontario, Canada)'' at Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online )〕
In 1977, the majority of the Anson Hoover group, a subgroup of Orthodox Mennonites consisting of some 70 members, went back to the David Martin Mennonites.〔Donald Martin: ''Old Order Mennonites of Ontario: Gelassenheit, Discipleship, and Brotherhood'', Kitchener, Ontario 2003, page 185.〕 In 1979 they, as a group, unanimously accepted the telephone.〔Donald Martin: ''Old Order Mennonites of Ontario: Gelassenheit, Discipleship, and Brotherhood'', Kitchener, Ontario 2003, page 176.〕
