Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical account of how a small town church became entangled in an unprecedented internal conflict regarding their choice of minister. As the author, an observer of the events, details the dispute, they also delve into the historical and biblical foundations of church polity, particularly within the congregationalist tradition. The author's analysis of the dispute explores broader themes of power, community, and the boundaries of religious authority, making this not only a useful case study for understanding congregationalist polity but also a meditation on the delicate balance between the needs of an individual church and the principles of a wider religious body.
