Dr. Manchester will be discussing the historic Verin case, a situation of domestic violence and liberty of conscience. Joshua and Jane Verin were some of the first colonists in the settlement of Providence. Dr. Manchester will draw connections between the women of Providence and their direct and indirect influence on the decision making, freedom of conscience, and the Rhode Island Charter of 1663.
