Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Presbytery of Erie: Embracing in Its Ancient Boundaries the Whole of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio; With Biographical Sketches of All Its Ministers and Historical Sketches of Its Churches The Presbytery of Erie, although small in its present membership and territory, has a most interesting history. It is substantially the history of Presbyterianism in the early settlement of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. Being the third Presbytery organized west of the Mountains, its history is connected with the recital of enterprise and self-denial and energetic endeavor, such as have characterized the histories of few Presbyteries, east or west. But the early records are brief, and in many respects unsatisfactory. There is no record of the organization of churches for the first thirty years of its history, and it is often impossible to distinguish between regularly organized churches and mere preaching points. At the first, the names of places seem to have been recorded just as they petitioned for supplies, and were permitted to change to the more important relation of organized churches without any record being made. The authorities chiefly relied on in this work, are the Minutes of the Presbytery, of the Synod of Pittsburgh, and of the General Assembly.
