On January 21, 1525, a small group of Christians gathered in Zurich for a secret worship service to avoid the prying eyes of Zurich’s authorities, who were already cracking down on dissenters from the established Reformation. They renounced infant baptism and performed voluntary adult baptism — a life-changing promise to follow Jesus’ path.
