Yoder is an Anabaptist surname.   My high school Photography teacher was Ray Yoder.

He was an amazing man, but he was at the end of his career when I was in his class.   Something that impressed my mother was this as written in his own words in his autobiography.

"I was the top BLOOD DONOR for the Red Cross for this area, and when I had to quit because of my age in 1980, I had given 98 pints of blood. (I was 69 at the time, and the normal cut-off age is 66.)"
Mr. Yoder had been raised in the Mennonite Church but he attended the Main Street United Methodist Church in Waynesboro, Va. (the same church our family attended).   I suspect he lived in a slightly more progressive way than the Mennonites would have approved.

Contemporary groups with early Anabaptist roots include the Mennonites, Amish, Dunkards, Landmark Baptists, Hutterites, and various Beachy and Brethren groups. There is no single defining set of beliefs, doctrines, and practices that characterizes all Anabaptists.
