We celebrated Compact Day at the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park. Jonathan Dickey provided an overview of the English Separatist movement from the late 1500’s to 1620. He explained why the Separatists left England for Leiden, a city in the Netherlands. They lived there about 12 years, then left for the New World. He described the powerful theological debates that raged throughout Europe at the time, and the central role that English Separatists, such as John Robinson, played. Jonathan visited the American Pilgrim Museum in Leiden, and shared insights about the history of Leiden and our Pilgrim ancestors.
