		The Illinois Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church), was organized in 1921 by the merger of the earlier Mennonite Conference (MC) of the State of Illinois (formed in 1871) and Amish Mennonite congregations in the state which had been members of the Western District Amish Mennonite Conference.
		The constitution of the Illinois Mennonite Conference did not declare the Dordrecht Confession of 1632 its official confession, but this was the confession commonly used in the congregations.
		Though basically still emphasizing simplicity and the simple life, the Mennonite Church (MC) has become less restrictive in patterns of dress, wearing of jewelry, use of musical instruments in worship, and the use of the prayer veil.

	Mennonite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mennonites outside the state church were divided on whether to remain in communion with their brothers within the state church, and this led to a split.
		Mennonites had to build their churches facing onto back streets or alleys (which began the habit of meeting in someone's home rather than a formal church), and they were forbidden from announcing the beginning of services with the sound of a bell.
		The Swiss-German Mennonites that migrated to North America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries settled first in Pennsylvania, then across the Midwestern states (initially Ohio, Indiana, and Kansas) are the root to the former Mennonite Church denomination (MC), colloquially called the "Old Mennonite Church".
