Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the Church of Christ: At Cambridge in New England, 1632-1830, Comprising the Ministerial Records of Baptisms, Marriages, Deaths, Admission to Covenant and Communion, Dismissals and Church Proceedings The records of the First Church of Cambridge are contained in two books, both of which are in a fairly good state of preservation. The first of these is two hundred and ten years old, having been begun by Rev. William Brattle at the time of his ordination. This first book was rebound by direction of the church during the ministry of Dr. Abiel Holmes at about the time the second book was purchased, and at this time there was bound with it, the list of members of the Church prepared by Rev. Jonathan Mitchell and a copy of a letter from Rev. Ezra Stiles giving an account of the early history of the Church extracted from Winthrop's "Memoirs." The first settled pastor of the Church chin Cambridge was Rev. Thomas Hooker, but he in 1635 removed with the majority of his congregation to the new town [now Hartford] on the Connecticut. Some of the Church members remained in New Towne [Cambridge] and they united with others in extending a call to the Rev. Thomas Shepard, who was settled in 1636. Mr. Shepard remained the pastor until 1649, when he was "Translated hence unto the church triumphant." He was succeeded by his student, the Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, who not only took charge of the Church, but married the Pastors widow, and took charge of his property. Mr. Mitchell died in 1668. He compiled a list of the members of the Church and their children in 1658, in which he gave many items relating to the time when they joined the Church or were baptized. He continued to note changes in this record till the time of his death. This list was lost to the Church for many years, but was recovered from the Prince Collection by Dr. Holmes. This manuscript is very much worn and has evidently been in a damp place. It is very difficult to read both on account of the fading of the ink and the way in which the later items have been interlined.

Download or read book Early New England written by David A. Weir and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of covenant was at the heart of early New England society. In this singular book David Weir explores the origins and development of covenant thought in America by analyzing the town and church documents written and signed by seventeenth-century New Englanders. Unmatched in the breadth of its scope, this study takes into account all of the surviving covenants in all of the New England colonies. Weir's comprehensive survey of seventeenth-century covenants leads to a more complex picture of early New England than what emerges from looking at only a few famous civil covenants like the Mayflower Compact. His work shows covenant theology being transformed into a covenantal vision for society but also reveals the stress and strains on church-state relationships that eventually led to more secularized colonial governments in eighteenth-century New England. He concludes that New England colonial society was much more "English" and much less "American" than has often been thought, and that the New England colonies substantially mirrored religious and social change in Old England.

Download or read book The Legacy of Slavery at Harvard written by The Presidential Committee on the Legacy of Slavery and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvard’s searing and sobering indictment of its own long-standing relationship with chattel slavery and anti-Black discrimination. In recent years, scholars have documented extensive relationships between American higher education and slavery. The Legacy of Slavery at Harvard adds Harvard University to the long list of institutions, in the North and the South, entangled with slavery and its aftermath. The report, written by leading researchers from across the university, reveals hard truths about Harvard’s deep ties to Black and Indigenous bondage, scientific racism, segregation, and other forms of oppression. Between the university’s founding in 1636 and 1783, when slavery officially ended in Massachusetts, Harvard leaders, faculty, and staff enslaved at least seventy people, some of whom worked on campus, where they cared for students, faculty, and university presidents. Harvard also benefited financially and reputationally from donations by slaveholders, slave traders, and others whose fortunes depended on human chattel. Later, Harvard professors and the graduates they trained were leaders in so-called race science and eugenics, which promoted disinvestment in Black lives through forced sterilization, residential segregation, and segregation and discrimination in education. No institution of Harvard’s scale and longevity is a monolith. Harvard was also home to abolitionists and pioneering Black thinkers and activists such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles Hamilton Houston, and Eva Beatrice Dykes. In the late twentieth century, the university became a champion of racial diversity in education. Yet the past cannot help casting a long shadow on the present. Harvard’s motto, Veritas, inscribed on gates, doorways, and sculptures all over campus, is an exhortation to pursue truth. The Legacy of Slavery at Harvard advances that necessary quest.
