TWO EXTRAORDINARY AND FORGOTTEN BARTHOLOMEWS

TWO EXTRAORDINARY AND    FORGOTTEN BARTHOLOMEWS

Increasingly fewer people today inside or beyond the Christian world know much about the life or miracles associated with St. Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus of Nazareth.  Fewer still know of Bartholomew Gosnold’s existence, the “primary mover” in the establishment of Jamestown colony, the first permanent British settlement in North America.  On the surface, it would appear that these two have little in common beyond general anonymity, but they both share like, worthy stories that impacted contemporaries and unborn millions alike in extraordinary ways.
