The Anabaptist movement started during the Radical Reformation in the early 16th century in response to the perceived corruption of the Catholic church. The Anabaptist groups were attacked as heretics by both Catholic and Protestant groups. This persecution caused many Anabaptist groups to flee to new world where they would be free to practice their religion.

Modern Anabaptist groups include the Amish and the Mennonites. In general, Anabaptists believe in segregating themselves from the world. They believe in adult and not child baptism. They do not believe Christians should political office or serve in the military and are usually pacifists.
