Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an insightful glimpse into the history of the Second Parish in Worcester, Massachusetts, a religious society founded in 1785. The author examines the origins of the parish, exploring its role as a poll parish, where members were free to attend services regardless of their location or wealth. The book delves into the parish's early struggles, including financial difficulties and doctrinal differences, as well as its eventual growth and establishment of meetinghouses. Through primary source materials, the author traces the evolution of the parish's beliefs, from its early Calvinistic leanings to its eventual embrace of Unitarianism. The book also highlights the contributions of key figures in the parish's history, including its first pastor, Aaron Bancroft, and his successor, Alonzo Hill. This book offers a valuable historical account of the development of religious thought and practice in early America, providing insights into the complex interplay of religious freedom, social change, and the search for truth.
