Who are the Mennonites in a Texas community where measles is spreading?

The Mennonites, part of the Anabaptist tradition emerging from the Protestant Reformation, exhibit diverse practices, ranging from assimilated to traditional communities. The Old Colony Mennonites in Texas trace their roots to migrations from Russia, Canada, and Mexico, settling in Texas in the 1980s and 1990s. A measles outbreak in West Texas has affected this community, situated in Gaines County, which has high vaccine exemption rates, permitted by Texas law for reasons of conscience, including religious beliefs.
