Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the 1827-1829 controversy that sparked a deep schism within a Massachusetts parish, pitting churchgoers against their pastor, the Reverend Dr. Abiel Holmes. The controversy originally stemmed from the pastor's decision to strictly exchange pulpits only with Calvinist ministers, departing from his prior 30-year practice of also inviting Unitarian ministers. Spurred by the growing influence of the Unitarian denomination, many parishioners felt their religious views were being infringed upon and mobilized against Dr. Holmes, requesting that he resume his former inclusive practice. The author of this book provides ample documentation of the back-and-forth correspondence, including the original memorial signed by parishioners and Dr. Holmes' replies, allowing readers to delve into the nuanced arguments presented by both sides. Ultimately, the controversy reveals the deep-seated differences in religious beliefs and practices that characterized 19th-century America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
