Shelby+Winthrop



 Hi there! I am John Winthrop, a Puritan settler originally from England. I left home and traveled to the new land to escape the religious persecution other fellows Christians and I were enduring. I am not afraid to say that I am very religious and promote my faith. I believe in the idea of living as a city upon a hill. Christians need to love one another, do good to all and live as an example for everyone. I delivered these ideas on my journey here upon the Arbella in 1630. I have a group of supporters and hope that many others, including you visiting this page, will see the light and join in our effort to be live up to my model of Christian charity.

**__Key Ideas of "A Model of Christian Charity"__**
 * 1) Unity, justice and mercy
 * 2) The love among Christians is a real thing. It is divine, spiritual nature, free, active, strong and corageous.
 * 3) Giving, lending and forgiving
 * 4) Love is the bond of perfection.
 * 5) Conformity for His works

 We shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from the us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world. **
 * I want you all to remember the words I preach and live by...
