Anabaptist

In a cold room in Zrich on January 21, 1525, a young man named Conrad Grebel baptized his friend George Blaurock --- an act so quiet and so radical that it changed the architecture of human freedom. Grebel was not supposed to be a revolutionary. He was the privileged son of a prominent family, a failed student, a reformed troublemaker who found his footing in the fire of the Reformation --- and then watched that fire become a new establishment in real time. What he defended, at the cost of everything, was a boundary: between the authority of the state and the authority of conscience.
