John Smyth was a clergyman of
the Church of
England. Mr. Smyth and part of his London
congregation had to flee to Holland because
of his separatist views. On one side of him
is the "Mayflower", because it was out of his
congregation that the pilgrim fathers came to
Massachusetts Bay. The other symbol is that
of a building in Amsterdam, the city where
Smyth and his congregation settled. There,
under Mennonite influence, they adopted
Believers' Baptism and established the
first English-speaking Anabaptist congregation.
