Hi Dave,
Hmm... seems there's a darker side to Zwingli's story I'm not familiar with. I'll have to have a look into that. I'd always thought Luther was the bane of the Anabaptists - but if the Anabaptists themselves don't see it that way...
Are member congregations of Baptist conventions/associations very independent minded over there? Here we're positively anarchistic (n Baptists = n^2 opinions!)!
Blessings,
Murray
