History EssayAnne Hutchinson and the Puritans Religious Uniformity
In a period of conservative Puritans, other views in religion were firmly
rejected and severely punished, and rebels were considered a threat to social
order. As an example, the trial of Anne Hutchinson represented a clear attempt of
religious punishment to those ones Puritans considered enemies. And, through religious
uniformity, they urged people to seek for the truth in the bible and to listening sermons,
avoiding structured prayers and rites common in the Catholic Church. Therefore,
subjection to the authority was one of the main notions in the Puritan doctrine and the
only way to maintain social order.
Social order imposed and monitored through punishment and trials were
common at the time. In this way, Anne Hutchinson’s attempt to encourage rebellion
against the oppressive and morally ambiguous church leaders represented a threat to
that Puritan social order. Therefore, they banished Hutchinson accusing her of violating
the Puritan doctrine. Hutchinson’s ideas about the role of women in colonial society and
controversial worship techniques were revolutionary, but were, sadly, repressed by the
authoritative Puritan government she was preaching against. A government which didn’t
hesitate to enforce capital punishment for what we see today as minor offenses.
Puritan’s religious uniformity, established a severe punishment to idleness and
immoral behavior. In this way, the worship of saints was not tolerated under any
circumstances and the acceptance of God, as the only savior, was the religious notion
that Puritans wanted to establish in their territories. What is more, this view influenced
Puritan people and made them be worried about the residents’ behavior and they used
to expel people who didn’t follow the common norms.
