Roger Williams Study Group

Hi, this is a project of a non-profit organization titled The Roger Williams Educational Foundation. We start with a RW talk, and then have discussions. You can bring RW texts if you need to discuss specific issue. or just come to hear about RW. When he was twelve years old, he was discovered doing stenography for a sermon at the Sepelcure Church in London. His discoverer was Sir Edward Coke (Pronounced Cook), the leading jurist of England and considered the founder of common law. From that moment on, RW was housed and supported by Coke. Coke sent him to the best schools, and RW excelled. At the close of his education in 1627, RW was ordained as a minister in the Church of England. He had learned Hebrew, Latin, Greek, Dutch, and French. He was never a conforming member of any Christian denomination or sect, but he had become a Puritan Separatist, and spent from 1627 to 1631 s the domestic chaplain for the leading Separatists in England, Sir William and Lady Elizabeth Masham. He spent time, with Elizabeth's mother, Lady Joan Barrington, Oliver Cromwell's Aunt. and it was her support that kept RW safe when he arrived in Massachusetts. It was that protection that allowed RW to avoid having his ears cut off. his nose split, or burned to death. He lived to be 80 years old, and his life and work gave Rhode Island and America!! Come and learn more, and tell us about you knowledge of RW!
