Gary Hylander to present 'A Very Dangerous Woman' at EPOCH
EPOCH Assisted Living of Norton will welcome
Stonehill College professor Gary Hylander for the presentation “A Very
Dangerous Woman.” Hylander will tell the story of Anne Hutchinson, who moved
from England to Boston with her husband and eleven children in 1634. Initially,
the Puritan community embraced Anne, a deeply religious and skilled midwife.
However, things went awry when Ann began questioning the authority of the
minister’s sermons and held her own religious meetings. Boston clergymen and
Governor John Winthrop condemned her as a “very dangerous woman” and an
“instrument of the devil.” Hylander is a popular speaker and frequently gives
history lectures at local venues. This event is
free and open to the public, but space is limited. Please RSVP by calling
508-285-3355.
