Book excerpt: Uncovers the often overlooked participation of African Americans and Native Americans in early Protestant churches Phillis Wheatley was stolen from her family in Senegambia, and, in 1761, slave traders transported her to Boston, Massachusetts, to be sold. She was purchased by the Wheatley family who treated Phillis far better than most eighteenth-century slaves could hope, and she received a thorough education while still, of course, longing for her freedom. After four years, Wheatley began writing religious poetry. She was baptized and became a member of a predominantly white Congregational church in Boston. More than ten years after her enslavement began, some of her poetry was published in London, England, as a book titled Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. This book is evidence that her experience of enslavement was exceptional. Wheatley remains the most famous black Christian of the colonial era. Though her experiences and accomplishments were unique, her religious affiliation with a predominantly white church was quite ordinary. Dividing the Faith argues that, contrary to the traditional scholarly consensus, a significant portion of northern Protestants worshipped in interracial contexts during the eighteenth century. Yet in another fifty years, such an affiliation would become increasingly rare as churches were by-and-large segregated. Richard Boles draws from the records of over four hundred congregations to scrutinize the factors that made different Christian traditions either accessible or inaccessible to African American and American Indian peoples. By including Indians, Afro-Indians, and black people in the study of race and religion in the North, this research breaks new ground and uses patterns of church participation to illuminate broader social histories. Overall, it explains the dynamic history of racial integration and segregation in northern colonies and states.

Many of the images in this collection have never before been published and are representative of all aspects of life in Brunswick. Discover an earlier time in the community's history, and its growth and endurance through the years.

A resident of Brunswick for over 27 years and past president of the Brunswick Historical Society, she brings her affection for her hometown and its residents to this unique tribute to its past.

Meet one of the many classes that attended the school named for President James Garfield, who taught in Brunswick in the mid-1800s. Brunswick's first female town official, Pearl Woodin Potter, and John and Ruth Duncan, who owned the town's longest operating eatery, are among the many residents whose stories are told in Brunswick. The town's long history as a farming community is commemorated in this engaging collection.
