what is the name of the protestant church founded by conrad grebel in 1525?

Answer 1

Swiss Brethren were Anabaptists, a group of radical evangelical reformers who initially followed Huldrych Zwingli of Zürich. In 1525, Felix Manz, Conrad Grebel, George Blaurock and others formed a new group, which rejected infant baptism and preached a true Christianity. As the movement spread beyond Zürich and throughout Switzerland, its followers became known as the Swiss Brethren.

Answer 2

Conrad Grebel: The Father of Anabaptists

Two facts contribute to Conrad Grebel being considered the "father of Anabaptists." When he baptized George Blaurock, a married former priest, on January 21, 1525, at the home of Felix Manz, it was the first adult baptism of the reformation. Additionally, Zwingli referred to Grebel as the ringleader of the Anabaptist group in Zurich. Although his actions began the movement in Zurich, his influence was limited. He wrote no major treatises, only a few letters, and died of the plague less that two years after Blaurock was baptized.

Answer 3

They're now referred to as Mennonites, but that has become a rather broad term theologically speaking, rather like the name "Lutheran." Mennonite can be used to refer to Amish, or "Old Order Mennonite" at one end of the spectrum, and at the other end it is merely an ethnic reference, much like being Jewish but not observant. Historically, Mennonites are very much like the Catholic lay orders--though they wouldn't admit this!--than adherents of other denominations, characterised by strong personal and community ethics, notably including pacifism, and social activism.

Answer 4

Anabaptists.
