What is a religious reform movement?

A religious reform movement is a movement that aims at the reform of religious teachings. It is different from an organizational reform of a religious community although mostly this is a consequence of a reform of religious teachings.

Religious reforms are performed when a religious community reaches the conclusion that it deviated from its – assumed – true faith. Mostly religious reforms are started by parts of a religious community and meet resistance in other parts of the same religious community.
