The First Church in Boston conducts a religious trial in 1638, having accused Hutchinson of blasphemy.
They also accuse her of "lewd and lascivious conduct" for having men and women in her house at the same time during her Sunday meetings.
This religious court finds her guilty and votes to excommunicate her from the Puritan Church for dissenting from Puritan orthodoxy.
