Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Court of Common Pleas: The Church of the United Brethern in Christ Vs; The Seceders From Said Church They looked to the Bible alone for doctrine and discipline, and tried to follow in practice the primitive church. The pronounced features were freedom, unsectarianism, greater spirituality, what was called experimental religion, and plain living. Preachers received no pay and accounted for and turned over all collections, and even presents, to the Church for charitable work. The first annual conference was held at Peter Kemp´s farm house, near Frederick, Maryland, in September, 1780, and for ten or more years the conferences were held at farm houses, and the church meetings, for the most i)art, in barns or the open air, showing the plain habits of both preachers and people. During the first fifteen years of its work, the Church had no constitution, no confession of faith, no discipline, not even a roll of members. See Spayth´s History U. B. Church, pp. 82, 157: Lawrence´s History U. B. Church, pp. 287, 288, 301, 319: Drury´s Life of Otterbein. p. 272, et seq. The first General Conference was held in a humble house new Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, on the 6th of June, 1815. The proceedings were conducted in German and printed in German only. Although composed of only fourteen members, all preachers, it assumed and seemed authorized to represent and legislate for the whole Church in the United States. Among other things, it agreed upon a confession of faith and discipline and modesty presented them to the Church for observance. In the earliest Discipline preserved is this statement: "These (members of Conference 1815), after mature deliberation, found it to be necessary, goal, and beneficial to deliver the following doctrines and rules of discipline to the society in love and humility, with the sincere desire that they, with the world of God, might be attended to and strictly observed." See Discipline, 1819, Hist. Soc. Doc. 198, p. 15. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
