Theology Question [Help Please!]?

Zwingli's ideas influenced the Reformed Churches (which are also Calvinist). John Calvin started the Calvinist Church movement, and the most notable Calvinist Church today is the Presbyterian Church started by Scottish Calvinist Puritans. The Radical Reformation produced the Anabaptist movement, which translated into the Amish, Mennonite, Puritan, Quaker and Baptist groups. The English Reformation was a formal separation of the Church of England with the Roman Catholic Church. These churches today are known as Anglican (i.e. English). In addition to what you mentioned, Martin Luther started the Lutheran Church, and the Reformation forced the Catholic Church to revise itself, so it is important to note that the character of the church was different before the movement then it is today.
