In 1638, why was Anne Hutchinson banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony? A. for starting her own church

B. for supporting Puritan teachings

C. for relocating to Rhode Island

D. for preaching in her home

The answer is D. Anne Hutchinson was trialed in 1637, and then she was forced to leave from the Massachusetts Bay in 1638 for preaching in her home, which was considered heresy. She began preaching for a group of women, and eventually, men and other ministers were attending her preaching's.

The growing crowd attending her preaching's attracted the attention of other orthodox ministers. Her ideas were different from the local puritans in that she considered to be more important a personal faith with God rather than to be present at church and doing good deeds to others. This personal faith was called Calvinism.
