At St. Mary's City, for the first time in America, men and women of differing faiths lived in peace and goodwill, practicing freedom of conscience according to Lord Baltimore’s “Instructions to Colonists,” 1633. Freemen assembled of various beliefs changed that practice into law by approving “An Act Concerning Religion” in 1649.
