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...

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of the Congregational Church and Society, of North Branford: Delivered in the Congregational Church, Jan, 6, 1850 IT is among the first duties of every religious community which is fortunate enough to have a Past, to know its own history. Some of God's richest mercies to a given generation will be found to have had their earthly germ in times long past; and the} generation consequently which is not familiar with the experience of its predecessors, can have at the best but a very limited and imperfect view of the extent of God's goodness to itself. Each generation as it appears on the earth in its turn, (and especially here in New England, ) resem bles in an important respect the trees which beautify its surface; its roots - the source of its beauty and glory and life - lie buried in the soil. Whatever there may be in the character of this community which is. Worthy to be perpetu ated among the generations to come, came, under God, mainly, as I believe, from the fathers who lie buried in these adjacent grounds. I propose then to trace the history of this church and society, so far as the materials for such a history are still accessible - from its earliest days. The religious history of the early inhabitants of North Branford, until the year 1701, is nearly identical with that of the Congregational church of Branford, with which they were originally connected. We claim, therefore, a common property, and feel a common interest in all that pertains to the early history of that church. The outlines of that his tory, in a few words, may properly precede such matters as relate exclusively to ourselves.
