What religions were welcomed into colonial Georgia?
If you really want to hear about the early stages, it was mainly Protestant Christianity. Savannah was the first city in what became the colony of Georgia, and General James Oglethorpe set the place up as a colony for people trapped in the debtor's prisons of England.. that's beside point. At any rate, when the colony was founded, Catholics were strictly not allowed, due to the fact that Georgia would, among other things, serve as a buffer colony between the Spanish (Catholics) in Florida and the English (Protestants) in Charleston, SC. Jews were also allowed into the colony against the will of Oglethorpe. The story goes that a ship of Jewish physicans and philosphers fleeing the Spanish Inquistion landed in Savannah about three years after the colony was founded. They couldn't go south to Florida since the Spanish were there, and Charleston had turned them away. On the way to Savannah, the ship was badly damaged, and Oglethorpe felt if he turned them away they would die. So he allowed Jews into the colony as well. The Yamacraws who were living in coastal Georgia at the time maintained a mutual beneficial working relationship with early settlers, so they also were free to practice their own religious beliefs and traditions. Hope that helps...?
