Pieter Boudewijns (Boudewyns) was the elder of the [[Danzig Old Flemish Mennonites|Danzig Old Flemish]] Mennonite congregation at [[Haarlem (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Haarlem]] 1730-1753, and at [[Amsterdam (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Amsterdam]] 1756-1761. Through his catechism, <em>Onderwijzinge des Christelijken geloofs, volgens de belijdenis der Christenen die men de Oude Vlaamsche Mennoniten noemt</em> (Haarlem, 1743), he attained great influence; it found wide acceptance and was used by the conservative Mennonites long enough to necessitate another printing in 1825 at Sneek. In conservative congregations, e.g., [[Balk (Friesland, Netherlands)|Balk]], it was used as late as 1853. He also published <em>Korte schets van de onderwijzinge</em> (Haarlem, 1744).
