Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Statement of the Difficulties in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in Their Bearing on the Southern Churches: With an Appendix, Relating to the Charleston Union Presbytery The Presbyteian Church in this country, from its origin about the commencement of the last century, until within a few recent years, has generally preserved, in an eminent degree, the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Originally composed of elements not perfectly homogeneous; gradually spreading itself over avast extent of country; receiving also large accessions from other denominations holding the same doctrines; it early recognized mutual forbearance with reference to minor points, as essential to harmonious action. At the same time, the most ample provision has always existed for the separation from the Church, by a prescribed constitutional course of discipline, of any who might prove faithless to her standards of doctrine and order. Agreement in essentials, toleration as to non-essentials, have been her acknowledged long-established terms of communion. The original simplicity of Presbyterianism in this country, was admirably fitted to secure this christian union. The government of the Church was administered solely by Pastors, and Ruling Elders. Each Presbytery managed its own affairs without foregion interfercnce. No General Assembly existed at all until 1789: and when that judicatory was rendered necessary by the increased territory of the church, its authority was restricted within narrow limits. It was empowered to receive and issue appeals and references regularly brought before it from the inferior judicatories, and also to exercise a general superintendence as to the concerns of the church.
