Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Review of a Pamphlet on the Trust Deed of the Hanover Church The Recent Attempt to defeat the Constitutional Provisions in favor of Religious Freedom, considered in reference to the Trust Conveyances of Hanover Street Church. By a Layman. Boston. Wells and Lilly. 1828. There are several circumstances which have attended the writing and publishing of this pamphlet, of a character highly gratifying and encouraging to the friends of evangelical religion in Boston and throughout the country. The establishment of Churches on the plan so warmly opposed by the author, was adopted by the Orthodox Congregationalists in Boston in 1809. In that year the Park Street Church in this city was formed, its meeting-house erected, and the fee of the land on which it stands was conveyed to several individuals in trust for the church, with provisions in reference to the settlement of pastors and the rights of pew-holders, in all respects similar to those of the Hanover Street Church, to which the writer of this pamphlet particularly refers. In 1822 the Union Church, occupying the meeting-house in Essex Street, was organized, and the fee of the land conveyed to trustees upon similar trusts. In 1824 the Evangelical Congregational Church in South Boston was gathered, the meeting-house in which it worships erected, and the fee of the land conveyed in the same manner. The organization of these churches, and the manner in which the fee of the land occupied by their meeting-houses was held, was no secret. The conditions on which the pews were to be held were, in each case, distinctly proclaimed at the time of sale, and the deeds of pews given to purchasers explicitly stated these conditions. These facts and circumstances were generally known through the city, and were sometimes animadverted upon by the opposers, and in a few instances by the supporters, of Orthodox opinions.
