This podcast explores the rich history of the English Non-Conformist and Separatist movements, examining their ties to the broader development of the Christian faith.

At its heart, it tells the story of how Protestantism evolved and made a significant global impact.

The podcast, illustrates how this emerging movement, reshaped fundamental Christian beliefs, leading to division in Western Christianity between Roman Catholicism and the new Protestant groups.

The narrative, is organised chronologically, starting in the early 16th century with Martin Luther's excommunication, and concluding in 1620 in Plymouth Harbour, England.

The first series features twelve episodes, spotlighting influential figures such as Beza, Vermigli, Calvin, Tyndale, Knox, and Robert Browne, who is often hailed as the Father of Congregationalism.

The podcast's goal is not to sway beliefs, but rather to explore key historical events.

A complete transcript will be made available for each episode.
