Why did the Pilgrim Fathers come to America?
The “Puritans” sailed to “America” so they could dictate to their own people who to worship, how to worship, when to worship and why to worship. It was NOT because they were escaping “religious persecution” in Europe. They had left England and gone to Holland, where they were free worship as they chose — but Holland was apparently “too loose” for their starched-shirt ways. http://wilstar.com/holidays/thankstr.htm http://www.nd.edu/~rbarger/www7/puritans… http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/amlit/purd… http://endtimepilgrim.org/puritans.htm http://www.puritansermons.com/aboutprt.h…
