Just spotted this topic. Like Debbie, I'm wondering about the focus and scope of the group. What church? What era?
One of my ancestors got "sequestered" and later restored during the English Civil War (mentioned in Walker's "Sufferings of the Clergy....") so I'm trying to learn more about the history of the religious squabbles going on then.

I had no vision for focus or scope when I started this group. I just didn't see one, and thought I'd start it.
Let's begin with your relative; what do you know about them? What can you tell us about them?

#4,
I've probably learned as much as I'm likely to about my ancestor, unless I get very lucky. I'm just trying to learn more about the historical background. He was Rector of the church in a village in Devonshire. Sequestered about 1656, from what I can make out. Walker says of him:
He was accufed of having a Bafe Child; but it was generally thought to be a moft Vile Slander; he being not only a Perfon of great Learning, but of Exemplary Piety. After his Sequeftration, he Fled to Ireland; but on the Reftoration, returned to his Living; which he foon after Quitted, and went back again to Ireland, where he had fome Preferment; but what it was, I cannot learn.
I've been in enough churches where there was mention of things destroyed by Cromwell's troops, but I hadn't grasped that Anglican clergy were an endangered species for a time there.
Everything I've read seems to focus on what was happening in London, and the fight to control the pulpits there, and I can't quite relate those goings-on to a rural village. I'd like to get a broader picture. I'm not even certain how many religious factions were warring at the time.

Every church denomination, every national church, every city church, every parish has a unique and interesting history, as does every order and every monastery. I encourage every member to describe what's written about your parish, church, or order, and encourage us to read for ourselves.
As an example, I highly recommend Fr Wilfrid Paradis' Upon This Granite: Catholicism in New Hampshire 1647-1997. I hope to comment further soon.

Fr Paradis' excellent book provides a wealth of information not just about the Church in NH, but about the entire history of religion and many other aspects of New England and much of America.
Did you know:
England claimed ownership of virually all of N American based on the 1497 exploration of John Cabot (actually Giovanni Caboto of Genoa).
France's claim was based on 1524 exploration of Giovanni Verrazzano, an Italian, who has a great NY bridge named for him. The claim of Spain was based on 1524 exploration of Estevan Gomez of Portugal, as well as Christopher Columbus in the south in 1492.
The first American colony was at Jamestown. VA, in 1607, the first in New England at Plymouth, MA. in 1621. NH colonies soon followed: Odiorne (now Portsmouth), as well as Northam (now Dover) in 1623, then Exeter and Hampton in 1638.
But NH remained under the control of the Puritan Mass Bay
Colony (Plymouth), and no Catholic could enter most of North Am without signing the Oath of Supremacy, which most refused. Except in Maryland and Pennsylvania, all Catholic priests were expelled, and subject to death.
