Hutterites are a communal branch of Anabaptists who, like the Amish and Mennonites, trace their roots to the Radical Reformation of the 16th century. Originating in the Austrian province of Tyrol, the forerunners of the Hutterites migrated to Moravia to escape persecution. There, under the leadership of Jakob Hutter, they developed the communal form of living—based on the New Testament books of the 'Acts of the Apostles' (Chapters 2 (especially Verse 44), 4, and 5) and '2 Corinthians', distinguishing them from other Anabaptists. The Anabaptists tend to base their lives more on the first three gospels in the New Testament.
