In our last episode, we were introduced to Anne Hutchinson. A strong willed and intelligent Puritan woman who developed a following among not just the women of her day, but men as well. Men of influence. Men of authority. In this episode we'll see what happened to Anne Hutchinson and her supporters. As we follow the storyline we'll realize that the bigger issues of conscience and conviction are situations we can all identify with. This is a story filled with emotional and philosophical drama. Few of us have ever had to take a stand like Anne Hutchinson. Few of us will ever have to take such a stand alongside a friend. In the end, it was not just Anne Hutchinson who was destroyed but everybody around her. Either by forfeiture of their own livelihoods or the denial of their own consciences...What would you have done? What would you do now? Could this type of scenario happen today? Are there parallels to our own generation? Have you ever asked yourself what part you would play? Sometimes, self examination, in the shadow of controversy, reveals a side of ourselves we'd rather not acknowledge, but really should.
