Anne Hutchinson was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony primarily for 4) preaching in her home. She held religious meetings in her home, which challenged the established Puritan religious authority and doctrine. Hutchinson's views, which included the belief in direct revelation from God and criticism of the colony's ministers, led to her trial and eventual banishment in 1638.
