Between 1692 and 1693, the Salem witch trials took place in colonial Massachusetts. Twenty persons were put to death after being charged with using witchcraft, the Devil's sorcery.

What is witch trials?
Between February 1692 and May 1693, a series of hearings and trials for those accused of witchcraft took place in colonial Massachusetts. There were more than 200 accusations. Thirty individuals were found guilty, and 19 of them were hanged (14 women and five men). Giles Corey, another man, was put to death by being pressured to confess, and at least five inmates also passed away while they were being held. In addition to Salem and Salem Village (now known as Danvers), arrests were also made in a number of other towns, most notably Andover and Topsfield. In Salem Town, where the hangings also took place, grand juries and trials for this capital offence were convened in 1692 by a Court of Oyer and Terminer and in 1693 by a Superior Court of Judicature.

Because Christian authorities had changed their minds, there was a widespread witch hunt throughout Christendom. Serious differences or disagreements among churchgoers or groups are what lead to conflicts in the church. These conflicts typically revolve around major decisions regarding new pastoral staff, the use of a building or mission finance, the format of worship services, church festivals, etc. After sceptic jurists, particularly Sir John Holt (1642-1710), had already substantially stopped convictions of accused witches under English law, the Witchcraft Act 1735 put an end to prosecutions for purported witchcraft in England.

Answer:

Hello,

some community issues could be things like whether or not to do Christmas caroling because of the pandemic, or loud chickens in someone's backyard. Things that bother some people, but are not big enough of an issue to be calling the police on.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!
