Anabaptism at 500 Celebration

Jan 25 2025

On Jan. 21, 1525, a small group gathered in a small house in Zurich, Switzerland, where Conrad Grebel performed the first adult baptism of George Blaurock, beginning the Anabaptist faith tradition.

Five hundred years later, Anabaptists from around the continent gathered, both in-person and virtually, to watch a worship service on the night of Tuesday, Jan. 21, packing into the chapel at College Mennonite Church until it was filled to the brim. The service featured a number of different speakers, congregational singing, performances from all three Goshen College choirs, homages to Anabaptists of the past, and discussions of the future of Anabaptism. Tuesday night was also a celebration of the release of MennoMedia’s Anabaptist Community Bible, an initiative that has been in the making for the past two years.
