George Blaurock

George Blaurock

On 21 January 1525, at a secret meeting at the house of Felix Manz, Reformation leaders met to counter attempts to dictate church policy by the City Council of Zurich. There George Blaurock, a former priest, requested Conrad Grebel to baptize him in the apostolic fashion — upon confession of personal faith in Jesus Christ — instead of in the Catholic fashion of only one baptism in infancy. Grebel baptized him and Blaurock proceeded to baptize the others present, thus was born the Anabaptist movement.
