| Who Are the Hutterites? |
| The Hutterian Brethren had their origins in Moravia, which was then under Austrian rule. In 1526, Anabaptists were invited to settle the rural areas by the Moravian gentry in order to help develop the local economy, and to show its independence from the Holy Roman Empire. |

| The Anabaptist Origins of the Baptist Church |
| Acknowledged as the founder of the Baptist denomination, John Smyth's connection with the Anabaptists may not be as well known. In 1594, John Smyth was ordained by Bishop Wickham, having received Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees at Christ's College in Cambridge. |

| Aspirin Trivia |
| We all take Aspirin pretty much for granted, but did you know that before Aspirin was available, people used willow bark! They didn’t understand how or why it worked, but chewing on a section of bark did in fact relieve pain. It was even suggested that it should be used during childbirth. |
