Which sentence best describes Anne Hutchinson?

OpenStudy (bartyrocks3):

A New England religious leader and midwife, Anne Hutchinson was born in England, and later followed Puritan leader John Cotton to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634. She brought attention to Cotton’s spirit-centered theology through biweekly meetings, championing him and her brother-in-law John Wheelwright as true Christian ministers. A ministerial synod cleared Cotton from the charge of heresy, but the radical Hutchinson was punished with banishment by the General Court of Massachusetts and excommunication by the Church of Boston. She was killed in an Indian raid in New York a few years later.
