Family of Love

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Family of Love

An obscure branch of Anabaptists founded about 1540 by Hendrick Niclaes (c. 1502-c. 1580) in the Netherlands. It became best established in England during the second half of the 16th century through to the end of the 17th. An antinomian sect, the Familists, as they were also known, were persecuted by Elizabeth I during the 1580s but survived and spread, enjoying a revival of popularity in the mid-17th century.
