=== Radical Pietism ===
Radical Pietism are those [[Ecclesiastical separatism|Christian Churches]] who decided to break with denominational [[Lutheranism]] in order to emphasize certain teachings regarding holy living. Churches in the Radical Pietist movement include the [[Mennonite Brethren Church]], [[Community of True Inspiration]] (Inspirationalists), the [[Baptist General Conference]], members of the [[International Federation of Free Evangelical Churches]] (such as the [[Evangelical Covenant Church]] and the [[Evangelical Free Church]]), the [[Templers (religious believers)|Templers]], the [[River Brethren]] (inclusive of the [[Brethren in Christ Church]], the [[Calvary Holiness Church (Philadelphia)|Calvary Holiness Church]], the [[Old Order River Brethren]] and the [[United Zion Church]]), as well as the [[Schwarzenau Brethren]] (that include Old Order groups such as the [[Old Brethren German Baptist]], Conservative groups such as the [[Dunkard Brethren Church]], and mainline groups such as the [[Church of the Brethren]]).<ref name="Shantz2013">{{cite book |last1=Shantz |first1=Douglas H. |title=An Introduction to German Pietism: Protestant Renewal at the Dawn of Modern Europe |date=2013 |publisher=JHU Press |isbn=9781421408804 |language=English}}</ref><ref name="SmithJamison1969">{{cite book |last1=Smith |first1=James Ward |last2=Jamison |first2=Albert Leland |title=Religion in American life |date=1969 |publisher=[[Princeton University Press]] |language=English}}</ref><ref name="Ratliff2010">{{cite book |last1=Ratliff |first1=Walter R. |title=Pilgrims on the Silk Road: A Muslim-Christian Encounter in Khiva |date=2010 |publisher=Walter Ratliff |isbn=9781606081334 |language=English}}</ref><ref name="Carter2007">{{cite book |last1=Carter |first1=Craig A. |title=Rethinking Christ and Culture: A Post-Christendom Perspective |date=2007 |publisher=Brazos Press |isbn=9781441201225 |language=English}}</ref><ref name="MeltonBaumann2010">{{cite book |last1=Melton |first1=J.

=== Influence on the Methodists ===
As with [[Moravian Church|Moravianism]], Pietism was a major influence on [[John Wesley]] and others who began the [[Methodism|Methodist movement]] in 18th-century [[Great Britain]]. John Wesley was influenced significantly by [[Moravian church|Moravians]] (e.g., [[Zinzendorf]], [[Peter Boehler]]) and Pietists connected to Francke and Halle Pietism. The fruit of these Pietist influences can be seen in the modern American Methodists, especially those who are aligned with the [[Holiness movement]].

=== Influence on religion in America ===
Pietism had an influence on religion in America, as many German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania, New York, and other areas. Its influence can be traced in certain sectors of [[Evangelicalism]]. Balmer says that:

<blockquote>Evangelicalism itself, I believe, is a quintessentially North American phenomenon, deriving as it did from the confluence of Pietism, [[Presbyterianism]], and the vestiges of [[Puritanism]].  Evangelicalism picked up the peculiar characteristics from each strain – warmhearted spirituality from the Pietists (for instance), doctrinal precisionism from the Presbyterians, and individualistic introspection from the Puritans – even as the North American context itself has profoundly shaped the various manifestations of evangelicalism:  fundamentalism, neo-evangelicalism, the holiness movement, Pentecostalism, the [[charismatic movement]], and various forms of African-American and Hispanic evangelicalism.<ref>{{cite book|author=Randall Balmer|title=The Encyclopedia of Evangelicalism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=syUupeVJOz4C&pg=PR8|year=2002|publisher=Westminster John Knox Press|pages=vii–viii|isbn=9780664224097 }}</ref></blockquote>
