Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of a dispute that took place at the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn in the 1950s, where a group of progressive parishioners defied their bishop and successfully defended the removal of two conservative church vestrymen. Through exploring the complexities of the dispute, the author discusses themes of church governance, social justice, and loyalty to one's conscience. The book sheds light on the power dynamics at play within religious institutions, the importance of congregational rights, and the challenges posed by political and social divisions. Ultimately, it provides a valuable historical perspective on the struggle for religious freedom and democratic principles in the face of conservative opposition.
