Mennonites do not accept the Shepherd of Hermas as Scripture. This is an early Christian text (2nd century CE) that was respected by some early churches but was not included in the biblical canon. The text is valuable for understanding early Christian practices, ethics, and theology, but it does not have the authority of Scripture.

The Mennonite Confession of Faith recognizes the 66-book canon and affirms Scripture as the foundation for faith and practice. While the Shepherd of Hermas may be read for historical and moral instruction, it is not used to establish doctrine or practice in the Mennonite church. The text's teachings on repentance and ethical living may resonate with Mennonite values, but its status is that of an ancient Christian writing, not Scripture.
