This was connected to their view of dominion which presupposed private property rights -- in direct opposition to the Roman Catholic view of conquest and the Divine Right of Kings. And it was in the defense of these convictions that compelled many colonial Americans to resist the growing centralization of the British regime at the time of the War for Independence. http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/gods_hand_in_history/the_reformed_christian_legacy.xml http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/gods_hand_in_history/the_reformed_christian_legacy.xml God's Hand in History Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:48:55 -0600 More than a thousand gathered in downtown Boston this last week to honor the 500th birthday of John Calvin as part of the [Reformation 500 Celebration](http://www.visionforum.com/onlineemail/Vision-Forum/2009/03/05_ref_500/) hosted by Vision Forum Ministries.
