"Spread" of Anabaptism
[edit]Anabaptism or Radical Reformism was a very diffuse ideological movement that can in no way be traced neatly, or often at all, to the anti-Zwinglians of Bern. Many independent radical reformers rose and fell in the sixteenth century, usually leaving little in the way of a direct following. Those whose legacies survived often can be traced only very circuitously -- such as the influence of the Italian Anabaptist "Socinius" on Poland's pacifist and England's Unitarian movement. Later movements that laid claim to earlier reformers often had no actual link. In my opinion, the claim as presented in the article is a Swiss Mennonite viewpoint, lending a grandeur to the Conference's past that neutral historical investigation would almost certainly not uphold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C0:C800:9200:11B1:DC9:776D:F5EE (talk) 00:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
