Puritans (Kevin Jiao 7th hour)
Puritan's belief
Church membership is limited to those with proof by narrative that he/she has encountered God.
Life is predetermined. One must still live a virtuous life to achieve success. Some have "Elect" while others don't.
Religion has very strict right from wrong. The only occasion when alcoholic beverages are appropriate is communion or celebration.
God's power to gift is the same amount of power He has to punish.
Puritan Values
Education was very important. Literacy was used to enforce the religion to atheists and to establish hard working habits to children.
Puritans valued family and community.
One Puritan value is striving for harmony and peace, not just tolerance.
Puritans didn't accept opposition
Anne Hutchinson
She could very well be the main feminist of her time.
She pushed the notion that religion shouldn't be restrictive and that there is no such thing as predetermined fate.
Her main was that "elect" is not chosen, it's earned. There's is no fate. Rather, humans decide their own through their actions.
Roger Williams
Williams was a minister for the Puritans.
He challenged the view about the strict rules to live a virtuous life. He also questioned why Native American were not considered people.
He also pushed tithing instead of taxes to the church.
He ultimately was banished from the church. But that didn't stop him from going the Rhode Island and transforming it to be more liberal and accepting to religious freedom.
