Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of Thomas Worcester: For Nearly Fifty Years the Pastor of the Boston Society of the New Terusalem; With Some Account of the Origin and Rise of That Society History becomes interesting and instructive, warm and living, when we see in the events recorded the ends of Divine Providence which they were designed to accomplish. This seems to me to be the case in a very remarkable degree in those events which prepared the way for the establishment of the New Church in Boston, in the man who was chosen to lead them and who filled his office so wisely and successfully for nearly half a century, and in the men and women who were his co-workers. If, in looking back, we can see the hand of Providence in the way in which we have been led, it cannot fail to give us joy and assurance for the past, and strength and confidence for the future. I find the earliest link in the chain of events which led directly to the institution of the Boston Society of the New Church in the person of the Rev. Jacob Duché, who appears to be the first New Churchman of whom we have any knowledge in this country. He was in Philadelphia in 1774, ten years previous to the visit of Mr. James Glenn.
