"The Wildernesse is a cleere resemblance of the world, where greedie and furious men persecute and devoure the harmlesse and innocent as the wilde beasts pursue and devoure the Hinds and Roes."
-- Roger Williams
Roger Williams founded Rhode Island, and his work and life gave America the concepts of the separation of church and state, the Baptist Church of America, the first translation of an American Indian language, the first mutual aid relationship between indigenous people---one that lasted through all of his life, one of the best explanations as to why Christians cannot harm others over religious differences, and more. Please add to this Blog with your ideas about this great Americam.
