Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

  • Volunteer Spotlight: Roger Greene
    VOLUNTEER August A Newsletter for the Shepherd Auxiliary & Volunteers news 2019 Volunteer Spotlight: Roger Greene If you have a conversation with Roger Greene, Family Support Services volunteer, you will undoubtedly hear about his family and faith. Those values are at the core of who he is and helped sustain him through his son’s spinal cord injury and rehabilitation at Shepherd Center. Born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as the middle of three boys, Roger grew up in a very large extended family that was rooted in church and service. His maternal grandmother had 11 children, most of whom grew up and settled in the same area, so Roger grew up alongside more than 30 first cousins, each being taught that God and family were central to a complete life. Roger participated in worship each week and sang in the choir in his home church where his relatives sang with him and/or filled a lot of the pews. Year after year, when any family member had problems, the rest of the extended family stepped in to help in any way possible. Together, they have celebrated life’s victories and leaned on each other through the hard times. Roger’s father was in the Army, so Roger knew from an early age that Above: Roger Greene enjoys volunteering at Shepherd Center in his role as a Family Driver. he wanted to serve in the military, too. After graduating from high school and then attending college to learn computer programming, he enlisted in the Army for his career. He first trained in Okla- homa, and over the years, he was moved around to multiple bases in Colorado and Georgia.
