The Tyndale Society (USA) presents“Let Him Alone!”

Religious Persecution after the Great Ejection (1662)

Commemorating the 350th anniversary of “Black Bartholomew,” August 24, 1662, when almost 2,000 gospel ministers were ejected from their pulpits for reasons of conscience and England was left in religious turmoil from which it long suffered, the Tyndale Society (USA) will sponsor a half-day seminar on Saturday, September 8th. The event marked the beginning of a period of severe persecution for Quakers and Roman Catholics also, and proved to be a watershed for the advance of religious liberty in general in the English speaking world.

Featuring: Dr. Carl Trueman speaking on A Tale of Two Ejections: Richard Baxter, John Owen and 1662. Dr. Trueman is the Academic Dean and Professor of Church

History, Westminster Theological Seminary, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Tyndale Society President Mary Clow will tell The Storyof the Nisbet Covenanters, the Scottish counterpart to the English Puritans.

Historian Barbara Cross will share Ministries Sealed by Suffering: Thomas Watson & Edmund Calamy, some forgotten heroes of the era.

Judge Thomas Martin will discuss John Bunyan’s Imprisonment: Impact on America.

On display from the personal collection of Mr. Charles Payette will be a unique folio copy of the Book of Common Prayer prepared for the Archbishop of Canterbury. This very rare 1662 book was the standard to which all university professors and English clergy were to conform.

Advance registration is suggested

Suggested voluntary contribution: $ 10.00.

Light refreshments will be served.

There are a number of interesting nearby tourist attractions including Longwood Gardens,

Winterthur Museum, the Brandywine River Museum, and Herr Foods factory tours, as well as

annual Mushroom Festival.
