Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... pastors and churches generally labored to the same end. At the close of the seventeenth century thirty or more Indian Congregational churches had been formed, each with its own native pastor. But partly through the bad faith of individuals, and partly through the inability of the two races to understand one another's ideas and traditions, conflicts arose, culminating in that long series of Indian wars which not only interrupted missionary work, but greatly affected the whole religious life of the colonists. The effects of the Half-way Covenant were referred to in the previous chapter, but need further notice in this connection. Instead of encouraging the half-way members to qualify themselves for full membership in the churches, the covenant tended either to render them content with the partial privileges thus secured, or to lead them to demand under it the privileges of full membership, including the right to partake of the Lord's supper. To these demands many churches acceded, some by informal practice, others by deliberate vote. In consequence, the number of persons "owning the covenant" was greatly increased, so as sometimes to include almost the entire community, and to obliterate the distinction between regenerate and unregenerate character. An ecclesiastical degeneracy followed the decay of personal piety. Congregationalism, being based upon a regenerate membership, must, as Increase Mather declared, "stand or fall as godliness in the power of it does prevail or otherwise." In this case it was too often "otherwise," and the most lamentable results followed. Churches were rent by grievous dissensions within themselves; they failed to exercise Christian fellowship one with another; councils assumed...

The Creeds and Platforms of Congregationalism
Author: Williston Walker
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1597521531
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 613
Book Description
Congregationalism has always accorded large liberty to local churches in their interpretation of doctrine and polity. Its creeds are not exclusively binding, and its platforms have always been held to be open to revision. They have been witness to the faith and practice of the churches rather than tests for subscription. But by reason of this liberty a colletion of Congregational creeds and platforms illustrates the history of the body whose expressions they are better than if those symbols were less readily amended. The points wherin they agree may therefore confidently be believed to set forth that which is abiding in the faith and practice of the churches, while the features of change and the traces of discussion of more temporary importance which these creeds and platforms exhibit illustrate as clearly that which is mutable in our ecclesiastical life. It is because the writer deems such a collection of prime value in illuminating the history of Congregationalism that this compilation has been made. Ð from the Preface
