Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Judicial Decisions on the Identity and Property of the United Presbyterian Church of America: Containing the Arguments of Counsel, Together With the Decisions Both in the Lower and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania and New York, on the Law of Church Property The United Presbyterian Church, as a distinct portion of the household of faith, originated in a union formed between the Associate Reformed and the Associate Presbyterian churches in North America, which union did not call into being a new church, but has continued the existence of the church in an enlarged form and under a new organization. That this may more clearly appear, it is proposed to review some of the leading facts in the history of the different parts of, which this ecclesiastical body is composed. The Associate Presbyterian church had its origin in a secession from the established church of Scotland, which took place in the year 1733. The principal causes which led to this secession; were prevailing corruptions in the doctrines of the church and the tyrannical exercise of power in her government. Some of the leading divines of the church, among whom John Simson, Professor of Theology in the University of Glasgow, occupies a prominent place, openly maintained principles subversive of the great doctrines of the Bible, and utterly at variance with the received Standards of the church. This alarming state of things in the church aroused those who felt the obligation resting upon them to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. Among these faithful servants of Christ, who were not ashamed to avow and defend the truth, when opposed by men high in place, the Rev. Ebenezer Erskine occupies a prominent position.
