Schleitheim Confession

The Schleitheim Confession, whose German title translates as Brotherly Union of a Number of Children of God Concerning Seven Articles, was drawn up by a group of Swiss Anabaptists meeting at Schleitheim, Switzerland, in 1527, and is regarded as the most representative statement of early Anabaptist principles. It is believed to have been written chiefly by Michael Sattler and sets out seven articles addressing the core doctrine of the Radical Reformation's Anabaptist movement. Churches that trace their spiritual heritage to that movement, including the Schwarzenau Brethren, the Bruderhof communities and the Hutterites, continue to look to it as a guiding statement.
