Waldensians

Waldensians are a Christian group from Italy who have been around since the 1200s. They believe in a special kind of Christianity called "Waldensianism," which teaches that the church should be independent of the government and that it should focus on helping people. People who belong to the Waldensian church are called "Waldensians." They have their own language, worship services, and traditions. Waldensians hold various beliefs about religion, such as the importance of charity and simplicity. They also follow certain lifestyle ideals, such as being frugal and not owning too many possessions. Over the years, they have moved around and lived in different parts of Europe and even North America.
