Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the Rise, Progress and Present State of the Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church in the United States: To Which Is Subjoined a Copy of the Constitution of the Seminary They saw the "Reformed Dutch Church," the "Associate Reformed Church," and the Descendents of the venerable Puritans in New-England, all going before them in an honourable and successful career of exertion, to remove the disadvantages, and to establish Seminaries for the Instruction of their Candidates for the Ministry; and they perceived, that unless the Presbyterian Church should imitate their examples, while other denominations rose and flourished, they would inevitably decline, and fall into a state of discouraging weakness and inferiority. Accordingly, after long waiting, and after much counsel and prayer, the proposal to establish a Theological Seminary in the Presbyterian Church, was first introduced into the General Assembly, during the sessions of that body in May, 1809. It was so far countenanced, that an overture on the subject was end down to all the Presbyteries for their consideration and judgment. The opinions of the Presbyteries were so far received by the General Assembly which sat the next year, that the following Resolution, after mature deliberation, was adopted by a nearly unanimous vote, viz. - "Resolved, That the General Assembly will, in the name of the Great Head of the Church, immediately attempt to establish a Seminary for securing to Candidates for the Ministry more extensive and efficient Theological Instruction, than they have heretofore enjoyed." This measure was followed by the appointment of a large Committee, to draft a Constitution for the proposed Seminary; who, at the meeting of the next Assembly, May, 1811, reported their draft, which, after considerable amendment, was adopted.
