Upietisti

Upietisti (kwa Kiingereza Pietism, kutoka neno la Kilatini pietas, yaani heshima kwa Mungu, kwa wazazi, kwa ndugu na kwa nchi asili) ulikuwa tapo lenye athari kubwa kati ya Walutheri, lakini pia kwa madhehebu mengine ya Uprotestanti, na hata kwa Wakatoliki huko Ulaya na Amerika Kaskazini^[1] tangu mwishoni mwa karne ya 17.

Uliunganisha mikazo ya Kilutheri kuhusu mafundisho ya Biblia ya Kikristo na mikazo ya Kikalvini kuhusu maadili imara.

1. ↑ In places, such as parts of England and America, where Pietism was frequently juxtaposed with Roman Catholicism, Catholics also became naturally influenced by Pietism, helping to foster a stronger tradition of congregational hymn-singing, including among Pietists who converted to Catholicism and brought their pietistic inclination with them, such as Frederick William Faber.
