The anabaptist movement was called the "Radical Reformation"~they believed the reformers weren't going far enough; believed that Luther/Calvin/Zwingli were still too close to Romanist practices.

Radical means "to the root"~no fluff, no window dressing, no extra unnecessary anything~radicals rule

<well, except the calvinist part >

I like the idea of a combination of all three. A calvinistic anabaptist with radical tendencies. LOL!

My new birth was completed, as it were, in a traditional orthodox Episcopalian church which described itself as High Episcopalian (meaning bells and smells) with evangelical and charismatic leanings! It's a wonderful church!

That comes pretty close to my ideal church!

No it isn't. Must be more new math.

Truly - I'd probably still be going there if I hadn't had to sell the house and move to Florida fulltime! They're on the border of Mass and NH and have grown by 2 more services to 6 services on Sundays. They have separated from The Episcopal Church - pray for them as they are under financial and spiritual attack.

Truly? I always wondered about the different Baptists.
