Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This historical discourse delves into the origins and evolution of the Goodwill Church, a Presbyterian congregation established in 1729 in Orange County, New York. It traces the church's roots to the arrival of Presbyterian settlers from Ireland and Scotland in the early 18th century. The author delves into the challenges faced by the congregation during the Adopting Act of 1729, which sought to unify Presbyterian doctrine, and chronicles the controversies that arose within the church during the Great Schism of 1741. The discourse provides rich details about the church's rst pastors, including the Reverend Joseph Houston, who served from 1740 until his untimely death in the same year, and the Reverend John Moffat, who oversaw the construction of a meetinghouse in 1765 and guided the congregation through a period of growth and prosperity. The author also explores the impact of the Associate Presbyterian Church, a schismatic movement that gained adherents within the Goodwill Church, leading to the formation of a separate congregation in Neelytown. This historical discourse is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Presbyterian Church in America, the religious landscape of Orange County, and the lives of the individuals who shaped the Goodwill Church's legacy.
