Dates of Religious Persecution in Wales?
404651
1664: THE CONVENTICLE ACT\nThe Conventicle Act prohibited groups of more than five persons from assembling for religious worship other than that prescribed by the Established Church. It had the effect of furthering emigration to North America, where Welshmen became prominent in municipal government and the universities (both of which had been excluded by the Conventicle Act even after the passing of the so-called Toleration Act of 1689).\n\nIn the late 17th century, many Welsh emigrants braved the horrors of Atlantic passage to flee religious persecution. The Welsh Quakers, in particular, sought lands where they could practice their own form of religion and live under their own laws in a kind of Welsh Barony. One of their leaders, surgeon and lawmaker Dr. Griffith Owen, who came to the colonies in 1684, induced William Penn to set apart some of his land grant for the settlement. The project envisioned as a kind of "Holy Experiment," involved an oral understanding with William Penn and the Society of Friends (a pact made in England before the Welsh sailed to the New World). The oral understanding set aside 40,000 acres of land (some sources give 30,000) in what is now southeastern Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, this agreement was never put into writing and later became a source of bitter controversy between Penn and the Welsh Quakers.

zaphira is WAY off base.  Constantine mixed a lot of pagan rituals into Christianity.  The day of worship became 'Sun'day.  There are some other changes but the main problem is that he allowed paganism to be mixed in.  This led to Easter (an ancient fertility celebration for the 'goddess' Isis) being celebrated as resurrection sunday.  Christmas was also supposed to be some other 'god's' birthday.  When persecution ended, Christians let their guard down to let pagan worship get mixed in.  It's not popular, but it's the truth.

In 1647, the English parliament under Oliver Cromwell made Christmas celebration illegal (considering feasting and celebration on a holy day to be immoral).   That law was repealed.\n\nThe Holy Days and Fasting Days Act of 1551, which among other things forbade the use of any kind of transportation on Christmas, has never been repealed.

There's supposably one in a church near Lawrence, Ks in a town called Stull, I think.  Missed my chance to check it out and I think it's been torn down, but I know people who claim they've seen things there, although they were too scared to get close or go inside the place.

The clergy had the power to do such things/and such as many do today got mixed up in politics. Clergy with 'power' are not supposed to be a part of Christianity. As you know the common people were not even allowed to possess a bible at that time. Better to keep the people terrified and ignorant is you like your 'position.'\n\nI realize that many of those tortured were Jewish or accused of being Jewish as they were good merchants. It was  mostly about GREED and POWER- not very different from what rules the world today.\n\nThey were obviously not true followers of Christ. Christianity is about equality and love of your neighbor.  We are all supposed to be equal in God's eyes.

One I enjoyed reading was "Foxes Book of Martyrs." It's a history of people who were martyred for the faith.  It provides some historical context, but most of all it tells personal stories of people who had deep convictions about what it means to be a Christian.
