Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Religious Leaders of Newport: Eight Addresses Delivered Before the Newport Historical Society, 1917 The religious element in the history of Newport can never be neglected by one who seeks to obtain a fair impression of the purposes and acts of its first settlers and the events which naturally followed. Driven from the colony of Massachusetts Bay by inability to accept the narrow religious conditions there imposed upon them, the founders of Portsmouth and Newport made welcome to their settlements people of every faith and form of worship; thereby giving what is perhaps the first instance in the history of the world of a free and independent community separating absolutely civil rights from religious opinions. As might be imagined it was but a few years before this invitation was known and accepted; and the little city of Newport soon found among its citizens not only the Baptists and the Congregationalists, the first settlers of the city, but also Friends, Hebrews, Moravian Brethren, the Church of England, and the followers of George Whitefield, who soon organized a Methodist Church. The history of Newport proves that this broad and liberal policy was wise as well as just. These men of different faiths, some of them subject to constant persecution in other colonies, proved themselves most useful, and patriotic, many bringing to the city wealth and a love of literature and of the arts.

Download or read book Sarah Osborn s Collected Writings written by Sarah Osborn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riveting and eloquent, the collected writings of a key figure—and one of the first female leaders—of the eighteenth-century evangelical movement Sarah Osborn (1714–1796) was one of the most charismatic female religious leaders of her time and one of relatively few colonial women whose writings have been preserved. This volume reprints selections from Osborn’s fascinating manuscripts, including her memoir, letters, and diaries. An evangelical Christian who led popular revival meetings at her own home, Osborn was also a gifted writer who recorded the story of her life. In thousands of pages of manuscripts, Osborn chronicled her personal struggles alongside the great events of her age, including the Great Awakening, the French and Indian War, the moral crisis posed by slavery, and the American Revolution. A rare opportunity to hear an early American woman speak about her faith and her religious leadership, this masterfully edited work is also an invaluable resource for understanding the rise of evangelical Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a journey with us back to early America, where Rhode Island's founders laid the groundwork for America's policy of religious freedom. Dr. Patrick T. Conley, Rhode Island's preeminent historian, is our guide for this expedition, teaching us about the individuals and events that shaped Rhode Island's identity. Learn what led Roger Williams to write The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution and discover how James Franklin, older brother of Benjamin, left a lasting impact on the future of American publishing. Find out why Mary Dyer fought for her religious beliefs until she became one of the "Boston martyrs"; how Anne Hutchinson overcame a male-dominated society to allow women the right to preach and teach; and how General Nathanael Greene helped to liberate the South during the American Revolution. These colorful biographies of political, military and religious leaders, artists and craftsmen, scientists and philanthropists illuminate the beginning of America's smallest state, but one that has always exhibited remarkable diversity.

Download or read book Early New England written by David A. Weir and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of covenant was at the heart of early New England society. In this singular book David Weir explores the origins and development of covenant thought in America by analyzing the town and church documents written and signed by seventeenth-century New Englanders. Unmatched in the breadth of its scope, this study takes into account all of the surviving covenants in all of the New England colonies. Weir's comprehensive survey of seventeenth-century covenants leads to a more complex picture of early New England than what emerges from looking at only a few famous civil covenants like the Mayflower Compact. His work shows covenant theology being transformed into a covenantal vision for society but also reveals the stress and strains on church-state relationships that eventually led to more secularized colonial governments in eighteenth-century New England. He concludes that New England colonial society was much more "English" and much less "American" than has often been thought, and that the New England colonies substantially mirrored religious and social change in Old England.

This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask any Rhode Islander, "Who was the founder of Rhode Island?" The answer will probably be "Roger Williams." This book contends the founding of Rhode Island was actually a collaborative effort. There were at least four other leaders who were just as important as Roger Williams in the half-century from 1636 (the founding of Providence) to 1683 (when Roger Williams died). Four of the five leaders lived in Newport: Benedict Arnold was appointed by King Charles II to be the first Governor of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in 1663. He was reelected him for seven more terms. (This famous Governor Benedict Arnold is the great-great-grandfather of the infamous traitor of the same name.) William Brenton served two terms as Governor of the State. John Clarke, theologian, doctor, and statesman, negotiated the State Charter of 1663 while living in London for thirteen years. William Coddington attempted to become Governor of Life of Aquidneck Island. He failed, but was later exonerated and became Governor of the State for two terms. Roger Williams was the only one of these five leaders who lived in Providence. He was the President of the Colony for several years, but disliked being a leader, and was never Governor of the State. Mercantile Newport Newport was the center of business and government in the colony of Rhode Island. The natural harbor at the mouth of the bay became one of the top ports on the East Coast, competing with Boston and New York. Providence, at the head up the bay, was always a fraction of the size of Newport. When religious groups flocked to tolerant Rhode Island, they didn't go to Providence. Groups like the Sabbatarians, Jews, and Quakers all settled in Newport. And to give Newport an Old World cachet, many of the street and docks were named after streets and docks in London. Many clues suggest the man responsible for this "London = Newport" name game was William Brenton, who had in his possession a commission from King Charles I to be a Royal Surveyor in the New England colonies. When he died, he owned over 10,000 acres. The first settlers of Aquidneck Island succinctly expressed the guiding principle of their hearts and minds with their official motto: Amor Vincet Omnia Love Conquers All
