CONT

Issue du courant pacifiste et communautaire de l'anabaptisme du XVIe siècle, la secte des huttériens (ou huttérites) [...] est restée fidèle [...] à son idéal religieux primitif, [...] à sa structure initiale, ainsi qu'au dialecte et même aux costume de son milieu original. Elle fut fondée [...] par un pasteur anabaptiste tyrolien, Jakob Hutter, torturé et brûlé comme hérétique en 1536. Le mouvement huttérien groupait alors des milliers de frères répartis dans des fermes communautaires [...]. Après l'écrasement de l'anabaptisme militaire à Münster en 1535, les huttériens s'installèrent à Austerlitz [...]. Au début de la Première Guerre mondiale, [...] ils émigrèrent en grande partie au Canada.
