Anabaptist Association of Australia and New Zealand explained

The Anabaptist Association of Australia and New Zealand (AAANZ) is a network of individuals from a variety of Christian denominations in Australia and New Zealand who share a common interest in the Anabaptist tradition.^{[1] [2]}

In 1998 the body was incorporated with about 80 members.^[3] The association believes that the enduring legacy of the Anabaptists includes:

• baptism upon profession of faith
• church membership is voluntary and members are accountable to the Bible (read through the revelation of Jesus) and to each other
• commitment to the way of peace and other teachings of Jesus as a rule for life
• separation of church and state
• worshipping congregations which create authentic community and reach out through vision and service
