Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Preamble and Rules for the Government of the French Protestant Church of Charleston: Adopted at Meetings of the Corporation Held on the 12th and the 19th of November, 1843 The church now recognized in law, by the corporate name of "The French Protestant Church of Charleston," was founded by French Protestant Christians, who having left France to avoid the persecutions which followed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantz, in the year 1685, sought civil and religious liberty in South-Carolina. Its tenets are contained in the Articles, entitled "Confession de Foi, faite d´un commun accord par les Eglises reformees du Royaume de France." Its worship has always been conducted according to the Liturgies of the same churches; and its government and discipline were as far as local circumstances admitted, in accordance with the principles laid down and explained in the book entitled "Le discipline Ecclesiastique des Eglises Reformees de France." But the worship of the church, for a long period subject to interruptions, in consequence of the necessity of procuring Ministers from Europe, has during later years been suspended, partly for the reason just stated, but chiefly on account of a gradual dispersion of the families of members, among churches in which the services were conducted in English. This, being the language of the country, had become the language of the descendants of the French. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
