Historical study of how ministers were funded in Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay This volume examines the voluntary system used to maintain ministers in the early colonies, comparing it with tax-based approaches and tracing its rise and decline. It compiles statements from early writers and colonial records to illuminate motives, methods, and outcomes.

The work centers on the practice in two neighboring colonies and shows how beliefs about church and community shaped funding. It also situates the subject in a broader historical debate about whether ministerial support should be voluntary or mandated by law.

How voluntary contributions supported ministers in Boston, Plymouth, and other towns.

Shifts from voluntary giving to taxation and the debates that followed.

Influences from English reformers, Puritan leaders, and colonial leaders on funding methods.

Primary-source references, agreements, and town records that illustrate early church finance.

Ideal for readers of colonial American history, religious history, and early American politics.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins of the voluntary system for supporting ministers in the Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies during their early years. In the beginning, both communities supported their ministers by voluntary contributions from members. Gradually, however, both colonies switched to requiring everyone to contribute to the support of ministers through taxation. The author provides evidence that, despite the shift to taxation, many residents in both colonies refused to contribute. The book sheds light on the important role of religion in the development of the American colonies. It argues that the debate over the use of voluntary contributions versus taxation for ministerial support reflects larger debates about the nature of religious freedom and the relationship between church and state in early America.
