Abstract

This chapter explores the problems facing young converts as they attempted to reconcile the demands of their new faith with their duty to honour and obey their parents. Their families were often also torn by conflicting emotions, and they too faced competing moral obligations, for their duty to protect their children clashed with the need to uphold parental authority, and the authority of state and church. The stories of Agnes Beaumont, Thomas Ellwood, Richard Davies and others show how such family tensions could leave permanent and painful scars, while the remarkable story of Richard Norwood reveals a troubled young man struggling for years to find peace with himself as well as with his family.
