Governor William Bradford wrote of the Pilgrims:
“They shook off the yoke of anti-christian bondage, and as ye Lord’s free people, joined themselves (by a covenant of the Lord) into a church estate, in ye fellowship of ye Gospel, to walk in all his ways, made known or to be made known unto them, according to their best endeavors, whatsoever it should cost them, the Lord assisting them.”
Pilgrim elder William Brewster commented:
“The church that had been brought over the ocean now saw another church, the first-born in America, holding the same faith in the same simplicity of self-government under Christ alone.”
From Pilgrim Pastor, John Robinson, 1620:
“That he who hath made the heavens and the earth, and whose providence is over all his works, especially over all his dear children for good, would so guide and guard you in your ways, that we may have matter of praising his name all the days of our lives.”
Pilgrim Institute was established in 1979 to re-educate the American Christian in his responsibility to be governed by the principles of the Scriptures in all areas of his life, including the civil sphere, and to restore an understanding of local self government. https://pilgriminstitute.org/
