I have not seen it but, I look forward to seeing the review.

Thanks for this forum! I didn't expect to see it this soon.

I would be really interested in seeing this!! My great (11 generations back) grandfather John Crandall was considered the first Baptist elder in Westerley (there is a book by that title available) - I'm sure he knew Mr. Holmes.
[offtopic]It's interesting how persecuted Baptists were in the early days of our country (Quakers were, too). They were considered too free-thinking for both the Puritans and the Pilgrims (Puritans were in Massachussetts, Pilgrims in Plymouth). We owe a boat load of thanks to our Baptist forbears for standing firm on the truth no matter what.[/offtopic]

My father bought the dvd, so after I watch it I'll let you know how it is.

[quote]On July 16, 1651, John Clarke, [b]John Crandall[/b] and Obadiah Holmes journeyed from Newport into MA, coming to the town of Lynn on the 19th of that month. The purpose of the visit was to bring spiritual comfort and communion to one William Witter, a blind and aged fellow Baptist who had invited the three to come to his house. The broader purpose was, of course, an evangelical one: to tell of the new baptism and its import to all who would hear. And indeed the word was proclaimed, converts were baptized, the elements of the Lord's Supper were served - all of this done privately in William Witter's home.

This film is centered on the events that took place due to that very journey to William Witter's home. Your ggrandfather is not merely mentioned, but is in the film too. The website has just been redesigned and you can see the latest trailer at http://www.shilohfilms.org/as_with_roses.html. Please respond when you have seen the film. We have heard from some of the descendents of Brother Holmes and Brother Clarke as well. It is an honor to meet one of Brother Crandall's descendents now!
