Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the First Universalist Church and Society in New Haven, Conn Universalism in New Haven, has been a plant of slow growth. Its advocates have been counted among "the off-scouring of the earth," because they believed in the impartial love of God. They were of "the sect every where spoken against," and amid scorn and reproach, social ostracism and almost martyrdom of soul, they clung to "the truth as it is in Jesus," and boldly defended "the faith once delivered to the saints." Their word was not accepted in a court of justice, and such was the unwarrantable prejudice of those who called themselves "Orthodox," less than half a century ago, that a man would be chided by his fellow church members, if he presumed to trade with a Universalist, and was liable to censure if he dared to hire the room beneath the Universalist Church, owned by Universalists, for business purposes. To be a Universalist, was to be counted an infidel. The name was synonymous with atheist. Few dared to attend a religious gathering of this people, and among that few, women were afraid and ashamed to be seen. She who dared brave public opinion so far as to attend, was counted "strong-minded," and her religion, if not her morals, questioned. Great has been the change. As in all other churches, women now form the larger portion of every congregation. Men are no longer despised, and their places of business shunned, because they profess Universalism.
