The Spectacle of Toleration
The Spectacle of Toleration
It is much in their hearts (if they may be permitted), to hold forth a livelie experiment, that a most flourishing civill state may stand and best bee maintained, and that among our English subjects, with a full libertie in religious concernements; and true pietye rightly grounded upon gospell principles, will give the best and greatest security to sovereignetye, and will lay in the hearts of men the strongest obligations to true loyaltye.
As the 350th anniversary of the King Charles II Charter approaches, the Newport Historical Society is beginning a project called The Spectacle of Toleration.

The Spectacle of Toleration is organized by the Newport Historical Society, the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy, Salve Regina University, the George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom, the John Carter Brown Library and Brown University, and the Rhode Island Historical Society and funded in part by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.
