Excerpt from Congregationalism: Its Principles and Influences: A Discourse Delivered Before the General Association of New York, at Their Meeting in Madison, August, 1848
The life principle, in the Church as elsewhere, is' in its nature unchanging. It may manifest itself in different modes, and may exist in different degrees Of vigor, at different times and in diverse circumstances. But in its nature and essence, it is immutable; the same in this land as in others; the same now, as when the disciples met in the upper chamber at Jerusalem, or as when the Church was in the moving tents Of Abraham and of Jacob. But the outward structure which guards this life and is its body, may change greatly. It has thus changed, again and again.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles and influences of Congregationalism within the context of church systems. The author argues that this system, wherein any group of believers constitutes a church when organized for worship and religious observances, has unique advantages over other systems. Congregationalism stands apart historically and doctrinally, with its central principle being that each local church is self-governing and independent from the control of others. The author demonstrates how this principle fosters charity, unity amongst believers, and intellectual freedom. They further argue that its structure promotes harmony within and between churches, limits the spread of controversy, and increases the efficiency and outreach of individual churches. The author concludes that Congregationalism is a powerful and flexible system that enables the effective spread of Christian faith and values.
