Excerpt: ...practise of all the Wayes and Ordinances of his House according to Seripturepattern, may seem an Observation not to be despised. That we are fit or able for so great a service, the sense of our own feebleness forbids us to think. But that we have large and great opportunity for it, none will deny. For, besides the useful Labours and Contemplations of many of the Lords Worthies in other places, and in former times, contributing to our Help, and shewing our Principles to be neither novell nor singular, the advantage of Experience and Practise, and the occasion thereby given for daily searching into the Rule, is considerable. And He that hath made the path of the just as a shining' light, is wont still to give unto them further light, as the progress of their path requires further practise, making his Word a Lanthorn to their feet, to shew them their way from step to step, though haply sometimes they may not see far before them. It is matter of humbling to us, that 7(.e have made no better improvement of our opportunities this way; but some Fruits God hath given, and is to be praised for. 1 This l'reface was prepared after the close of the Synod, by order of the Massachusetts General Court, by the Committtee appointed by the Synod to report the results to the Court. It is probably from the pen of Jonathan Mitchell. See ante, p. 269. In former years, and while sundry of the Lords eminent Servants, now at rest from their labours, were yet with us, A Platform of Church-Discipline, comprizing the brief sum me thereof, especially in reference to the Constitution of Churches which was our first work when we came into this Wilderness) was agreed upon by a Synod held at Cambridge, and published to the world: From which (as to the substance thereof)...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Creeds and Platforms of Congregationalism 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 witnesses to the faith and practice of the churches rather than tests for subscription. But by reason of this liberty a collection 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 wherein 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. This volume has grown out of the experiences of the classroom. In his endeavors to teach the story of Congregationalism the writer has been hindered at all points by the inaccessibility of much of the material which must be before the student or the minister if a knowledge of denominational history is to be more than second hand. He has therefore collected the most important Congregational creeds and platforms, and has illustrated them as far as he is able by such historic notes and comments as may serve to make the circumstances of their composition and their meaning plain.

Download or read book The Congregationalists written by J. William T. Youngs and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1990-10-24 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chronological survey of Congregationalism throughout the course of its history and a collection of biographies of significant Congregationalists form the core of this reference/volume. J. William T. Youngs demonstrates how the Puritan way of seeing God, humanity, and salvation has continued to influence Americans and how the unique spiritual sensibility of the early Puritans endured throughout the Colonial period and long afterwards. The volume is divided into two parts. Part One contains a ten-chapter historical essay that summarizes basic information about the Church and also provides original interpretations of particular episodes in Church history or on Congregationalism as a whole, offering new insights and ideas about such issues as the genesis of the idea of visible saints and the significance of Horace Bushnell. The continuity of Congregationalism from colonial times through the 19th and 20th centuries is stressed. Part Two, the biographical dictionary, emphasizes the personal experiences of Congregationalists, and several score representative lives, both ministers and lay persons, famous and ordinary, illustrate and amplify points made in Part One. This exploration of the personal spiritual experiences of John Winthrop, Jonathan Edwards, Horace Bushnell, and others, based on autobiographies, funeral sermons, books, and journals, conveys a feeling for the religious life of Congregationalists. To enhance further study, the volume includes a separate bibliographic essay. As both a reference work and an interpretive essay, The Congregationalists provides a useful introduction to the Church for the general reader and will also provoke fellow scholars to consider new ways of exploring Puritan history.
