    A great injustice has been bestowed upon our Sister in Christ, Anne Hutchinson. The General Court has given Governor Winthrop a bully pulpit to condemn a true guardian of religious liberty. Accused of heresy, she stood before the court defending her right to practice her faith within the confines of her own home, in the company of other like-minded community members.
