Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church and State in New England The complete separation of church and state is an American doctrine. European governments have long maintained church establishments. The Puritan colonists of New England in the seventeenth century were not prepared to organize on principles that characterize the relations of church and state in America today. They followed the example Of the mother country and united the civil and ecclesiastical organizations. They estab lished the Congregational church and endeavored to maintain it by law against all Opposition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of the Establishment of the Church in New England The object contemplated in this small volume of Sketches, was, to give as succinct an account as possible of the introduction of our Holy Religion, and the foundation of its early churches, to assist, at least partially, the future historian, who will write of the several Dioceses, of which there are already five, where a few years ago there was but one, embracing the six New England States. To the honor and glory of God, and to the spiritual advantage of thousands, as already seen, has been the erection of these Dioceses, in which so many churches, academies, convents, schools, confraternities, and other religious, literary, and benevolent Institutions have been introduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genesis of the New England Churches, Vol. 1 A few words will sufficiently explain to the reader of this book the design of the author. The history of Protestant Christianity in the United States Of America is the history, not of a national church, but Of voluntary churches. I have attempted to show how it began, and to trace the origin and development of the idea which generated the churches Of New England. It is hardly necessary to say that the Baptist churches - a name which, in the United States, comprehends more churches than any other save oneu - are constituted on the same platform Of polity with the church which came in the May ower. I have had no occasion to speak of them or of their in uence in giving character to our American civilization; inasmuch as the history Of churches bearing that name, on this side of the Atlantic, begins later than the latest date in the volume now submitted to the public. It has been claimed for those churches that, from the age of the Reformation onward, they have been always fore most and always consistent in maintaining the doctrine Of religious liberty. Let me not be understood as calling in question their right to so great an honor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a New England Church and People Chestnut Street, where the tall graceful Spire, one hundred and sixty-five feet in height, was seen against the delicate tracery of the top branches of the old elms, some of which had probably stood there as long as the church. On both sides of the street are some of the finest of the colonial houses for which Salem has been famous. It is near the centre of the city, very accessible, but very quiet, a block away from cars of all sorts. I remember that many years ago a gentle man of the neighborhood spent two years abroad and on his return said, that he had seen nothing in Europe that he liked better than Dr. Emerson's steeple. Spoken of in that way during the life of the old clergyman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book New England s Struggles for Religious Liberty Classic Reprint written by Rev. David B. Ford and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New England's Struggles for Religious Liberty No people in their beginnings have left richer or more abundant materials for veritable history than have the Pilgrim and Puritan fathers of New England. And it is a matter of rejoicing that a fresh popular interest in our Colonial times has been awakened in recent years. An indication of this interest is plainly seen in such writings as those of S. G. and S. A. Drake, of Charles F. and Brooks Adams, of Prof. John Fiske, of Alice Morse Earle, and of several other recent writers. The "Margaret Winthrop," by Mrs. Earle, especially, has much authentic and interesting historic material. The original and chief sources from which our work is drawn are, of course, given in the body of the text and need not be mentioned here. If allowed to particularize, however, I should say that perhaps, in a considerable part of my work, nothing has been more interestingly helpful to me than the treasures of the library of the "Backus Historical Society," in Newton Center, and of the Massachusetts Archives, in the State House in Boston.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vindication of the Government of New England Churches, And, the Churches Quarrel Espoused, or a Reply to Certain Proposals Dear sir, -i have re-read Mr. Wise's book, and think the republication of it by the Congregational Board of Publication very desirable. There is sharp and strong reasoning in it, and it marks our Congregationalism in Massachusetts for a full century. It has been the means of saving to our churches their true inde pendency, and our ministers from combining to exercise a joint in uence over them. It is also the best exposition of the platform that has ever been given, and has wellnigh brought its two faces to look in the same direction. It is the only book of au thority recognized by our courts of law as a reliable commentary on the platform. These reasons seem conclusive.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and Popular Education England was the direct outgrowth of ministerial in uence upon the law-makers of the first colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The phraseology of and historic comment on those early laws which established common schools, grammar schools and co'lleges, show that the underlying motive for all these foundations was to continue the supply of an educated ministry for the churches, good leaders for the State, and to prevent the extinction of learning among the people. In New England local history there is nothing more characteristic of those simple religious communities, wherein town and church were practically one in spirit, than the systematic support of preaching and teaching.

Download or read book A History of King s Chapel in Boston written by F. W. P. Greenwood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of King's Chapel in Boston: The First Episcopal Church in New England The substance of the following pages was preached before my Society in a series of eight discourses, in the spring of 1832. In printing these discourses, I have given them the title of Periods, because the name of Sermons seems too formal for such a subject, and disturbs the appearance of historical continuity. I have, however, retained the style of direct address to an audience, in the belief that by so doing I should rather help than hurt or hinder the narrative. I have ventured to publish this History of King's Chapel, because I trusted that it would be interesting to the members of my congregation; because I hoped that it might be interesting to readers in general, as a contribution, though small, to the ecclesiastical history of New-England; and because I was almost sure of the favor of antiquaries, to whom facts are never unimportant or dull.
