In Zurich, significant religious reforms were introduced by Ulrich Zwingli in the early 16th century, marking the city's role in the Protestant Reformation. Zwingli emphasized the authority of Scripture, leading to the removal of Catholic traditions not supported by The Bible, such as the veneration of saints and the use of images in worship. He also established a new liturgy that focused on preaching and the Word of God, while promoting a simplified form of worship devoid of excess rituals. These changes laid the groundwork for the establishment of Reformed Protestantism in Zurich and influenced other regions in Switzerland and beyond.

The religious reforms in Zurich only went so far as the political support in the city would permit. This allowed the new Reformed church to displace the Roman Catholic as the state church. There were significant changes made, however, the full radical program which Zwingli may have initially supported was not.

The "people's priest" of Zurich refers to Ulrich Zwingli, a key figure in the Protestant Reformation during the early 16th century. Zwingli served as the chief pastor of the Grossmünster, a major church in Zurich, where he advocated for reforms in Christian practices and beliefs, emphasizing the authority of Scripture. His efforts significantly impacted the development of Reformed Protestantism and shaped the religious landscape of Switzerland.
