Radical discipleship also refers to the [[Radical Reformation|Anabaptist Reformation]] movement beginning in Zurich, Switzerland in 1527. This movement grew in part out of the belief that the [[Protestant Reformers]] such [[Martin Luther]], [[John Calvin]] and [[Ulrich Zwingli]] were not going far enough in their respective reforms.{{citation needed|date=February 2020}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
