Daring! 500 years Baptist movement 1525 – 2025

The “Daring! 500 Years of Anabaptist Movement 1525 – 2025” commemorates the Reformation movement; allowing us to reflect on the past and to think about what Christianity means for Anabaptists in the 21st century.

This will be a 5-year journey that will look into the past to see how it can shape the future. You can find annual brochures, intended to open up discussions based on the given theme for the year. Educational materials are available for classroom use.
