Anabaptism emerged during
the Protestant Reformation in Zurich.
Its religious doctrine centered on the baptism of believers as adults.
Anabaptists believed that all institutions were by their nature corrupt.
This they argued, gave them the moral right to disobey laws imposed
by governments. Anabaptists were active in Austria, Poland, the Netherlands
and England. Anabaptist congregations separated themselves from all
forms of state control and avoided contact with society outside their
own communities.
