Too few Americans talk about our Christian heritage but the truth is doctrinal issues drove the Pilgrims to the New World. They were refugees – running from oppression by the Church of England because they felt the Church had lost it’s focus on the supremacy of Scripture. Branded as “separatists” they boarded the ship Mayflower on July 22, 1620 and headed for a new life. They landed at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in September.
