Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of Religious Liberty in America: Being the Great and Thursday Lectures Delivered in Boston in Nineteen Hundred and Three Two hundred and seventy-two years ago, John Cotton, minister of the First Church in Boston, with the co-operation of his ministerial associates, established what soon came to be known as the "Great and Thursday Lecture." This weekly lecture was in colonial times the chief social and religious event in Boston. In 1775 it was discontinued; but at the conclusion of the siege of Boston it was revived, and has since had a continuous existence. It has been the occasion for the discussion of public affairs as well as matters of theological interest. It is probably a unique institution in American life. With the aid of two helpful friends, the American Unitarian Association has been able to unite with the minister and Standing Committee of the First Church to carry forward on this ancient foundation a course of lectures upon Religious Liberty in America. These lectures have attracted so much public interest that they are now published by the Association for larger circulation.

Thus even this revolting doctrine testifies to the grandeur of the ethical teaching of the Berkshire Divinity as it was held by Hopkins in the form of Disinterested Benevolence. Now this Samuel Hopkins was settled in Newport in 1770, and, barring three years of absence during the Revolution, remained as minister there until his death in 1803. Although the family of Channing belonged to Dr. Stiles's church, Dr. Hopkins and his doctrines were well known; and, when the other church was closed for some time after the war, its members, and the Channings among them, attended upon the preaching of Dr. Hopkins. And Dr. Hopkins never flinched from the most uncompromising declaration of his principles. It is said that on one occasion the unrelenting doctor, dining with a young minister, detected the ruffles which it was then fashionable to wear, but which the doctor disliked, peeping out of their concealment under his coat. Whereupon the doctor said with some asperity, "I don't care for ruflies; but, if I wore them, I'd wear them like a man." That was characteristic: others might wear theological shackles betrayed only by a miserable habit of shuffling, but Dr. Hopkins wore his without disguise, holding them gifts of God, --anklets and bracelets of beauty. " He was distinguished for nothing more says Channing than by faithfulness to his principles. He carried them out to their full extent. Believing, as he did, in total depravity, believing that there was nothing good or generous in human nature to which he could make an appeal, believing that he could benefit men only by setting before them their lost and helpless condition, he came to the point without any circumlocution, and dealt out terrors...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should prayer be allowed in public schools? Should biology be taught according to Darwin or to the book of Genesis? Why is polygamy against the law? These are just a few of the questions that touch our lives directly and emerge out of the separation of church and state. In this volume, one of the most distinguished scholars of American religious history traces the complicated relationship of church and state from the early colonial period, through the unique American experiment in religious liberty after the Revolution, to the ongoing debate over religious issues in our schools and communities. Edwin Gaustad relates entertaining and edifying accounts of headline-grabbing court trials involving polygamy, witchcraft, and church taxation. He quotes moving passages from the speeches and writings of American Presidents and Supreme Court justices to prove that, to paraphrase Michelangelo, "religious liberty is made up of a series of trifles, but religious liberty is no trifle."

Excerpt: ...constable to constable, out of the bounds of this colony." Some foreigners were expelled, but returned again, the next year, when the legislature ordered that they be arrested, fined 100, and again driven away.3 One of the preachers sent out of the colony was Davenport, who had had similar treatment at Boston. Complaints of his conduct at Stratford had been lodged with the court. He was summoned to appear before that body, whose deliverance, after examination, ran: "That the acts of Davenport do, and have a natural tendency to, disturb and destroy the peace and order of this government. Yet it further appears to this Assembly that the said Davenport is under the influence of enthusiastical impressions and impulses, and thereby disturbed in the rational faculty of his mind, and therefore to be pitied and compassionated, and not to be treated as he otherwise might be." With this opinion, the assembly ordered his transportation to his home at Southold.1 1 Records, VIII, 440. Ibid., VIII, 454. Ibid., VIII, 570. Another subject of legislative censure was Benjamin Pumroy. He was first summoned before the court with James Davenport, but was discharged. Afterward he was again summoned on a bill of information charging him with preaching that " the late law concerning ecclesiastical affairs was a foundation to encourage persecution... was made without reason and contrary to the word of God... that great men had fallen in and joyned with those who are on the devil's side and enemies of the kingdom of Christ.... There is no colony so privileged as Connecticut was, and now there is no colony so bad for persecuting laws." Pumroy was arraigned before the court, found guilty, and fined, 50, with costs at 32 10....
