A WOMAN SPEAKS OUT!
For those of you who don't already
know, it's Ann Hutchinson Day!
Day. Ann was an English
woman who traveled to the American
colonies where she settled in a
Puritan community near Boston.
But Anna had her own, very serious
religious beliefs and she often spoke out
abou them! She believed that faith, not
good deads, was the way to salvation.
She also believed man could communicate
with God without the need for clergy to act
as a go between! The clergy didn't like that
idea very much and Anne was charged with
heresy! She was convicted and forced out
of the community. She setteled on Long
Island where, 6 years after her conviction,
she, 6 of her children, and a number of
servants were massacred by indians! Now
many remember Anne as a true leader of
religious freedom in the new world!
It's Sunday. Hope you'll remember Anne
today and that all your NEWS is good!
