Seven Who Changed the World

David Alan Black / Dave Black Online:
In sixteenth century Switzerland a renewal movement was launched that would change the face of the church forever. Anabaptism was born, and with it the beginning of the modern "free" church movement. A group of young radicals, disciples of Ulrich Zwingli, insisted that, as far as believer's baptism was concerned, no compromise with the Word of God would be tolerated. Conrad Grebel (pictured below) emerged as its leader and spokesman. By the end of the year 1523, their number would total seven. In addition to Grebel there were Andress Castelberg, Felix Manz, Heinrich Aberli, Joannes Panicellus, Hanns Oggenfuss, and Hanns Huiuf.
