MAJOR PROTESTANT SECTS

This overview explores major Protestant sects that emerged during the Reformation, focusing on figures like Ulrich Zwingli of the Swiss Reformed Church, Anabaptists Conrad Grebel and Menno Simons, and Calvinists led by John Calvin in Geneva. The text highlights the theological differences among these groups, such as their views on the Holy Trinity and governance under theocracy. It also discusses the establishment of the Anglican Church under King Henry VIII, the rise of Presbyterianism through John Knox, and the community-led congregationalism initiated by Robert Browne.
