Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and history of Congregationalist churches, particularly how they developed in New England. The author explains that Congregationalists are distinct from other religions as they value the voice of the congregation in matters of governance and discipline. They also believe that each church should be self-governing without the involvement of external religious or secular authorities. The author discusses the development of the Congregationalist system, its principles, and their significance to the early settlers of New England who sought to establish a society based on religious freedom and self-determination.
