Anne Hutchinson, a Puritan spiritual advisor and religious reformer, clashed with established clergy in the Massachusetts Bay Colony due to her strong convictions. Her popularity and charisma sparked a theological schism, leading to her trial, conviction, and banishment. Hutchinson played a significant role in the Antinomian Controversy, challenging local ministers’ orthodox teachings. She went on to establish the settlement of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where she continued to advocate for religious freedom and civil liberty while challenging ministerial authority.
