Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The South-Boston Unitarian Ordination We the undersigned, being present by special invitation, at the recent ordination of Rev. Charles C. Shackford as pastor of the Hawes Place Congregational Society in the Twelfth Ward of the city of Boston, heard a sermon preached by Rev. Theodore Parker of Spring street, Roxbury, in which sentiments were advanced so contrary to our ideas of Christianity, that we feel onrsclves constrained by a solemn sense of duty which we owe to the Church of Christ, to inquire whether the Unitarian clergymen of Boston and vicinity sympathize with the preacher in his opinions as expressed on that occasion? We noticed as members of the ordaining Council, Rev. Dr. Pierce of Brookline, Rev. Messrs. Lothrop, Barrett, Robbins, Bartol and Sargent, of Boston, and Rev. Mr. Putnam of Roxbury, and several others. We hope it will not be deemed impertinent in us to ask, whether the clergymen who composed that Council sanction the sentiments of the preacher, or acknowledge him as a Christian minister? As there was no protest after the sermon by the moderator, or by any member of the Council against the sentiments advanced, we wish to know whether silence in this case, is to be construed into assent. We were hoping that when the venerable Dr. Pierce arose to offer the ordaining prayer, he would have remembered the Apostolic injunction, "Lay hands suddenly on no man." and that he would have said to the candidate, "If your sentiments accord with those of the preacher, I cannot consecrate you to the work of the Christian ministry." But in this we were disappointed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
