a baptist would have said that is not true. baptist you must be able to express your faith before your immersed and not a baby getting sprinkled. we know, at least based on the record, that if indeed a baptist, thomas macy drew no attention to himself, many baptist in churches in this period, if they were compelled to attend town worship, if an infant was bap 'ttbaptized -- t macy was a clerk, the supervisor of schools within town. this was a respected man. but this pivotal moment of kindness to these four men would change the trajectory of his life and bring him here and would then shape the religious culture of this particular community. matt philbert talks about how wonderful it was to get 25 miles away from the closest one of them to be here and have more freedom. the other thing that's going on in the summer of 1675, and this may seem as if i'm firing buckshot at you, and in some ways it helps to understand the flood of quaker missionaries. imagine d-day, imagine hitting the beaches, one after another, knowing what awaited

many baptists in this. if they were compelled -- many baptists in this period if a infant was to be baptized, they would turn around and so that they did not have to witness the sacrament. we have no evidence that thomas macy did that. he was the clark. he was a supervisor for the school. he was a respected man. -- he was the clerk. he was a supervisor for the school. he was a respected man. would then shape the religious culture of this particular community. -- talks about how wonderful it was to get 25 miles away from the closest one of them and be here and have a bit more freedom. the other thing that's going on exactly in the summer of 1675, and this may seem to you as if i'm fire -- firing buckshot at you and in some ways it helps to understand the flood of quaker missionaries, imagine d day. imagine what it was like to be those young men hitting the beaches one after another after another and knowing that awaiting you on the shore are those who intended to kill you. that's exactly what's happening her

not as a quaker, but as a baptist.iving withe liberty of conscience, and there is the distinction. freedom of religion means you can practice everything you would desire, but liberty of conscience is such that you outwardly conform to the church practices of the day, but when at home, as long as you practice what you desire in secret, you will never be endangered. but by taking in these men and making himself public in such a way, he now draws the neighbors in for greater surveillance of his life, and life becomes intolerable. when i was very young, i had a conversation with patrick collinson, the great historian of the english reformation. he said "do you know the difference of the separate tens and the puritans in boston? separatists only wanted to separate from the church, not the world. they just wanted to get away from a worship they thought was dis-formed. they did not hate their neighbors, they wanted to be with them socially and do business with them. puritans were willing to worship with their neighbors, the e

a decade later you had baptists who opposed infant baptism. then you had quakers who got rid of baptism entirely. and there was others in the colony that wanted nothing to do with any of its churches and simply wanted the liberty to be left alone. so that was one aspect of liberty that was just central in accordance to the pilgrims and then to the other english settlers in the colony. a second form of liberty was political liberty. and here i think it's important to mention the mayflower compact. the compact used to be understood as a cornerstone of american political thought. daniel webster once commented, the principles of american republicanism were worked out in the cabin of the mayflower. well, that was basically poppycock. the framers of the u.s. constitution were indebted to john locke, not to john robinson or the mayflower passengers. but the basic idea of the mayflower compact represented an important english political ideal that the validity of officers and laws rests on the consent of the body politic. and the mayflower compact, the

that baptists were a persecuted minority around the founding time of our country. we were oppressed at the hands of established religion in various colonies and states. so, i grew up being taught not necessarily as a matter of civics or law, but as a matter of religious principle, that we needed to have religious freedom for everyone, that there are under our constitution, no second-class faiths, and that everybody should stand on level ground before government. and, that we have to move from the sidelines to solidarity, with people who were being targeted, because an attack on any faith is an attack on every faith. so -- [applause] thank you. so, a religious principle, that i needed to defend my neighbor whether they were my religion or no religion or some other religion. then i had the great opportunity to go to law school and learn about the wonderful promises in our constitution of religious freedom for everyone. of course, we always have to work to align our practices on religious freedom more with our promises on religious freedom. sometimes there's a gap bet

if you ever went to a baptist church then you can hear this in a baptist church all of the baptists especially the southern baptists is in. this with a capella. singing the whole congregation to sing you know. i love. yours and they called the entire koran which basically chanted yes as you know and it was chanted basically in that minor scale you see that connection to you and your singing things that had deeply embedded within the sort of african-american experience in the blues not only that but that was one of the things that. guided me to islam really yes the music and when you start reading when i was introduced to the koran that was founded there as well founded well. so i think for my opinion this is just what i opened it with my opinion about her and something you get a cup of coffee maker but this is my opinion that this entire movement is a spiritual movement and is geared toward islam. like abdul more and more people of all ethnicities are finding their way to islam a 3rd of all muslims in america about 2000000 converts the people at the mosque in jackson convinced that this is hav

beginning with the prosecution of the baptists in virginia.and as i say madison was a really good politician. and he didn't hesitate to use the loyalty of the baptists in virginia when it came to be time for an election. monroe once ran against him. and monroe was running around saying, you know, that madison needed to be replaced, he was the old school, he, monroe, was the new school. and madison started writing letters to the baptists. and as they should have. they recognized that he was the one who would be best for office. >> one of the most important relationships to the founding, and you just alluded to it, so i'll pick up on that while we're here, was madison's relationship with jefferson. it was a friendship, but it was a complex relationship. it was a political relationship. and piggy backing on your comment about madison's formidable political skills, when jefferson needed something done in congress, he went to madison, when jefferson was in europe he wrote to madison asking him to do "a," "b" and "c," could you talk about this remar

i can also tell you i have been a southern baptist my entire life.uction of jesuss ministry to retching one verse out of the old testament and claiming that somehow that trump is everything and the gospel. trump everything in jesus ministry. that suddenly, okay, if you're a pro-life, you call yourself pro-life but support caging children? that somehow there's a consistency there? obviously, i personally think doug collins and republicans would have done better to actually read the red letters in the new testament to read jesus's words and talks about it's better than a mill stone be hung around a person's neck and thrown to the bottom of the sea before they mistreat a child. before they cast a child away. but obviously, it seems they are pro-life from conception until the moment the child is born. it's the same thing with again -- you look at what the republican party is focussed on. you look at what doug collins is focusing on. i have a hard time looking at matthew 25. what you have done for the least among these you have done to me. i can't square
