Paperback. Condizione: 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.
