The Puritan Tradition:Community above Ideology

In the spring, Avella, 350 ton ship, 28 guns, and 52 crew

Spring in 1630, Albera, a 350 ton ship, 28 guns and 52 crew members went west across the Atlantic Ocean to the future leader of the Massachusetts bay colony. The ship departed to Cowes on the Isle of Wight on March 29 and did not arrive in the US till late June. Perhaps the most popular sermon among the several ways to spend time, integrate the community and save God is a sermon. John Winslow, a new community leader, heard the American historical tone while talking with his colleagues. "We predicted that we should be like this, Wensirop predicted." As a city on the mountain, the rights of everyone are tolerated by us. With our help, we will become the story and the word of the world. "300 years later, no one can express the fate of America better. In explaining Puritan's experience, this fate Understanding how the feeling is formed and interferes with it becoming a fanatic or utopia.The misplaced human Puritan lighthouse is neither a book nor a theory.This is the community itself.In the United States the word Instead of using a role model, I will teach everyone.

But historians warned that Puritans are a strange group, a very unusual early American, and they may be more like cults than the community. In a nutshell, scholars gave up "an explanation on American interpretation in Puritanism." But in addition to the holidays and sightseeing areas, Puritan may have sustained something to us: not an American community model, American culture ideology. Plymouth Mayflower pilgrims and Puritans in the Boston area are often confused by two different colony groups (eg see here). The number of Puritan settlers in the Massachusetts bay colony was about 10 to 1 more than the number of Plymouth pilgrim settlers and was absorbed in 1691. Mainly Puritan and its descendants, for example Concord's militia, formed a popular image of early American settlers.

American philosophical tradition began with a new world in European colonial era. Puritan arrived in New England. And he incorporated the earliest philosophy in America into a religious tradition (town of Puritan), and also emphasized the relationship between individuals and the community. Early colonial literature such as Connecticut's Basic Order (1639) and Massachusetts Freedom (1641) is evidence. Thinkers like John Winthrop emphasize private life and argue that the former takes precedence over the latter, but other writers like Roger Williams (co-founder of Rhode Island) achieved religious tolerance For the sake of completeness to believe more than trying. Religious homogeneity in the community

In Puritan's play (1995), Bruscolin Daniels wrote as follows. "Christmas occupies a special place in the reform of European ideology and religious war," he said. And I thought that the Puritans of the Congregational and Presbyterian churches hated this day, and today, like the Roman Catholics, the British Church, the Lutheran Church, the Dutch Reformers, and other sects celebrated. When the British Church advertised Christmas Feast as an important religious holiday, Puritan regarded it as "remnant of papal idols"
