It is located on a 7-½ acre terrace between the Connecticut River to the east and Mount Olivet Cemetery to the west. Camp meetings were religious gatherings in a natural setting, characterized by large audiences attending religious services with on-site camping and lodging for an extended period of time.1 The Advent Camp Meeting Grounds consist of thirty-three buildings, one structure and one object. Established in 1887, the Advent Camp remains in active use and still hosts religious gatherings and services each summer. The buildings that make up the camp are of simple design and construction, and reflect national architectural trends in late 19th/early 20th century camp meeting grounds. These buildings consist of small residential cottages and service buildings including classrooms, dormitories, dining hall, kitchen and tabernacle. While minor changes in layout and limited new construction has occurred since its founding in 1887, overall the Advent Camp Meeting Grounds Historic District retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The Advent Camp Meeting Grounds Historic District consists of three separate buildings for group lodging, two separate classroom buildings, a kitchen building, baptistery, tabernacle, residential cottages and a single gravestone. Established in 1887, the Advent Camp Meeting Grounds host evangelical events attended by people of multiple denominations for extended 1 Lampl, Elizabeth Jo with Clare Lise Kelly, “Historic Context Report “A Harvest in the Open for Saving Souls -The Camp Meetings of Montgomery County,” Montgomery County Planning Department Historic Preservation Section, Maryland Historical Trust, July 2004.

The meeting grounds are located in the Taft’s Flats neighborhood of White River Junction, named after Orren A. Taft, a farmer who owned all of the land in the present day neighborhood. The 7-½ acre site is located between the Connecticut River to the east and Mount Olivet Cemetery to the west. With the rapid growth of evangelical camp meetings throughout America in the mid-19th century, the Reverend B.W. Gorham’s 1854 Camp Meeting Manual influenced many northeastern camp meeting grounds’ design and layout. Gorham, a Methodist minister, felt the camp meeting grounds should be kept “as simple as possible, with modest cloth tents … [as] he felt it was important to have society tents so that member churches could hold more private prayer meetings.”2 Gorham felt that meeting grounds required a circular layout “for the worship area, with the preaching stand at the north end so the audience would not face the sun. Buildings were generally unheated, as they were intended for summer use.”3 The layout of the Advent Camp Meeting Grounds originally reflected Gorham’s circular design, but an 1895 fire resulted in a layout change to more of a horseshoe pattern, with the tabernacle located at the northern end of the site and the baptistery in the center. The cottages, originally densely clustered together, were also spaced farther apart in order to avoid another disaster caused by flames spreading from building to building. To accomplish this task, “…several of the cottages were lifted onto logs and moved, by horsepower, to their current location in the center green.”4 The religious camp meetings of the late 19th century “were largely open-air affairs, with rows of seats facing a preaching stand."5 This description of a camp meeting is accurate of the White River Junction camp. The large grassy area in the middle of the circle/horseshoe “was mostly occupied by a series of benches, which would allow two preachers to stand at either end of the green to deliver

  • Town of Hartford Draft Town Plan
    TOWN OF HARTFORD DRAFT TOWN PLAN March 11, 2019* Prepared by the Hartford Planning Commission with the assistance from the Hartford Department of Planning and Development Services and the Town Plan Steering Committee * This Plan has been updated since the 2/22/19 Draft. The additions are highlighted in red and underlined, and deletions are highlighted in red with the slash-out feature. In some instances, these reflect relocation and not substantial changes. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION TO TOWN PLANNING According to the book, “Essentials of Land Use Planning and Regulation” by the Vermont Land Use Education and Training Collaborative, “the municipal plan is the visionary document that assesses the current status of a community and lays out a vision for the future.” Used interchangeably with the term “Town Plan”, it is an in-depth, comprehensive, long range study that provides the framework for future decisions regarding land use, transportation, community facilities and services, utilities, natural resources, historic resources, and housing. It is a guide that establishes a strategy on how to grow while managing the community’s resources and maintaining a high quality of life. The Town Plan provides the basis for public and private investment. It also establishes an implementation program that provides a means of achieving the community vision. HARTFORD’S GEOGRAPHY Hartford, Vermont is located at the confluence of the White and Connecticut Rivers and includes a third river, the Ottauquechee. It is also at the junction of Interstate Highways 89 and 91 and the junction of U.S. Highways 4 and 5 on the eastern side of Vermont about halfway up the state.

  • Seventh-Day Adventism, Doctrinal Statements, and Unity
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 27/1-2 (2016): 98-116. Article copyright © 2016 by Michael W. Campbell. Seventh-day Adventism, Doctrinal Statements, and Unity Michael W. Campbell Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies Cavite, Philippines 1. Introduction “All Christians engage in confessional synthesis,” wrote theologian Carl R. Trueman.1 Some religious groups adhere to a public confession of faith as subject to public scrutiny whereas others are immune to such scrutiny. Early Seventh-day Adventists, with strong ties to the Christian Connexion, feared lest the creation of a statement of beliefs so that some at some point may disagree with that statement may at some point be excluded.2 Another danger was that statements of belief might be used to present making new discoveries from Scripture, or afterward a new truth might be stifled by appealing to the authority of an already established creed. From the perspective of early Sabbatarian Adventists, some remembered the time when during the Millerite revival that statements of belief were used to exclude them from church fellowship.3 These fears were aptly expressed during the earliest organizational developments in 1861 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. According to denominational co-founder, James White: “making a creed is setting the stakes, and barring up the way to all future advancement. The Bible is 1 Carl R.

  • The Origins of Millerite Separatism
    The Origins of Millerite Separatism By Andrew Taylor (BA in History, Aurora University and MA in History, University of Rhode Island) CHAPTER 1 HISTORIANS AND MILLERITE SEPARATISM ===================================== Early in 1841, Truman Hendryx moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he quickly grew alienated from his local church. Upon settling down in his new home, Hendryx attended several services in his new community’s Baptist church. After only a handful of visits, though, he became convinced that the church did not believe in what he referred to as “Bible religion.” Its “impiety” led him to lament, “I sometimes almost feel to use the language [of] the Prophecy ‘Lord, they have killed thy prophets and digged [sic] down thine [sic] altars and I only am left alone and they seek my life.”’1 His opposition to the church left him isolated in his community, but his fear of “degeneracy in the churches and ministers” was greater than his loneliness. Self-righteously believing that his beliefs were the “Bible truth,” he resolved to remain apart from the Baptist church rather than attend and be corrupted by its “sinful” influence.2 The “sinful” church from which Hendryx separated himself was characteristic of mainstream antebellum evangelicalism. The tumultuous first decades of the nineteenth century had transformed the theological and institutional foundations of mainstream American Protestantism. During the colonial era, American Protestantism had been dominated by the Congregational, Presbyterian, and Anglican churches, which, for the most part, had remained committed to the theology of John Calvin. In Calvinism, God was envisioned as all-powerful, having predetermined both the course of history and the eternal destiny of all humans.

  • A Thus Saith the Lord
    Edition 07 - September 2020 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 A Thus Saith the Lord “In this time of persecution the faith of the Lord’s servants will be tried. They have faithfully given the warning, looking to God and to his Word alone. God’s Spirit, moving upon their hearts, has con- strained them to speak. Stimulated with holy zeal, and with the divine impulse strong upon them, they entered upon the performance of their duties without coldly calculating the consequences of speaking to the people the word which the Lord had given them. They have not consulted their temporal interests, or sought to preserve their reputation or their lives. Yet when the storm of op- position and reproach bursts upon them, some, overwhelmed with consternation, will be ready to exclaim, “Had we foreseen the consequences of our words, we would have held our peace.” They are hedged in with difficulties. Satan assails them with fierce temptations. The work which they have undertaken seems far beyond their ability to accomplish. They are threatened with destruction. The enthusiasm which animated them is gone; yet they cannot turn back. Then, feeling their utter helplessness, they flee to the Mighty One for strength. They remember that the words which they have spoken were not theirs, but His who bade them give the warning. God put the truth into their hearts, and they could not forbear to proclaim it.” GC88, 608.2 “The same trials have been experienced by men of God in ages past. Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, Tyn- dale, Baxter, Wesley, urged that all doctrines be brought to the test of the Bible, and declared that they would renounce everything which it condemned.

  • Adventist by Bill Crews Six Present-Day Denominations Exist As the Fruit Or Consequences of the “Adventist Movement” Inaugurated by William Miller
    Adventist by Bill Crews Six present-day denominations exist as the fruit or consequences of the “Adventist Movement” inaugurated by William Miller. The two largest are “The Seventh-Day Adventist Church" and “The Advent Christian Church." William Miller was born in 1782 and died in 1849. As a result of his highly speculative and mistaken interpretations of some Bible prophecies, he predicted the end of the world between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844. When the expected return of Christ did not materialize, Miller and his associates set another date, October 22, 1844. Afterward, various advocates in the Adventist Movement set other dates: 1847, 1850, 1852, 1854, 1855, 1863, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1877, et. al. As the dates came and went, many disciples of Adventism deserted the ranks, but explanations were always forthcoming, loopholes were found, and some doggedly embraced its principles and followed its leaders. William Miller and others were, and some still are, considered prophets of God. In spite of the failures of Miller’s predictions, a sizable group met in Albany, New York in 1845 and formed the “American Millerite Association.” Some afterward formed the “Evangelical Adventist,” a group that has dwindled away. In 1861, under the leadership of Jonathan Cummings, the “Advent Christian Church” was organized. James White and Ellen G. Harmon, who became Mrs. James White, found a way to patch up Miller’s predictions by transferring the fulfillment from earth (where it clearly did not occur) to heaven (where they could claim that it did). They and others championed the idea of observing the Sabbath of the Old Testament.

  • Origin and History of Seventh-Day Adventists, Vol. 1
    Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists FRONTISPIECE PAINTING BY HARRY ANDERSON © 1949, BY REVIEW AND HERALD As the disciples watched their Master slowly disappear into heaven, they were solemnly reminded of His promise to come again, and of His commission to herald this good news to all the world. Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists VOLUME ONE by Arthur Whitefield Spalding REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. COPYRIGHT © 1961 BY THE REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. OFFSET IN THE U.S.A. AUTHOR'S FOREWORD TO FIRST EDITION THIS history, frankly, is written for "believers." The reader is assumed to have not only an interest but a communion. A writer on the history of any cause or group should have suffi- cient objectivity to relate his subject to its environment with- out distortion; but if he is to give life to it, he must be a con- frere. The general public, standing afar off, may desire more detachment in its author; but if it gets this, it gets it at the expense of vision, warmth, and life. There can be, indeed, no absolute objectivity in an expository historian. The painter and interpreter of any great movement must be in sympathy with the spirit and aim of that movement; it must be his cause. What he loses in equipoise he gains in momentum, and bal- ance is more a matter of drive than of teetering. This history of Seventh-day Adventists is written by one who is an Adventist, who believes in the message and mission of Adventists, and who would have everyone to be an Advent- ist.

  • Martin Luther and the Concept of the Reformation of a True Church
    Journal of Religious Comparative Studies DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1992/jrcs.v1i1.3720 Martin Luther and The Concept of The Reformation of a True Church (An Analytical Study and Phenomenon On The Denominations Of Church) Syamsul Hadi Untung* Universitas Darussalam (UNIDA) Gontor Email:[email protected] Khoirunisa* Universitas Darussalam (UNIDA) Gontor Email: [email protected] Abstract Church reforms carried out by Martin Luther centered on Christians who wanted to be saved from the teachings of the deviant Catholic church. One of Martin Luther’s thoughts in reforming the church is his unique understanding of the problem of sin and his acceptance of God’s presence. This research uses the library research method which is sourced from the works of Martin Luther and the text of the Holy Bible. The approach used by the author is the historical-historical approach (analysis-history), with this approach the writer can arrange and conceptually arrange the course of the history of the Catholic Church and Martin Luther. The purpose of this writing is to read the events that Martin Luther has done in reforming the church, he has a different influence on Christianity today. Their forms of belief differ from the way in which the Scriptures are conveyed. So the author can conclude that the ideas of Martin Luther appeared to submit 95 theses of criticism for the teachings of the church which according to him to deviate and after the success of Martin Luther in reforming the church. The church denomination was created after reforming the Catholic church. So some Christians feel worried about the denominations of the church around them that will only make them divided and united until now.

  • October Charleston Boulevard Seventh-Day Adventist Church
    1 Volume 5 Number 10 October Charleston Boulevard Seventh-day Adventist Church Last Sabbath our Jewish brothers and sisters worshiping at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pitts- burgh experienced the situation that most believers in congregations worldwide fear, an active shoot- er. The shooter doesn’t deserve more attention so I only mention it to say that its worth considering what believers through history have had to face for the simple act of worshiping. As I reflect on the Pittsburgh event it seems as if there is a certain lack of surprise, for these shoot- er situations are becoming so prevalent. Furthermore, this act of cowardice reminds me of the challeng- es early Jewish Christians faced as they were persecuted for being both Jew and Christ followers. For the first century, Hebrew believer it was hard to be a serious committed Christian living in an unpredictable world of persecution, which came from both Jews and Romans. It was certainly not politically correct to be a Jewish Christian in the first century. How about today, is it becoming easier to stay the course be- lieving in the creator God openly without fear of intolerance, animus, angst, ostracism, or even violent reactions? How you answer will depend greatly on your perception of perseverance. The principle of perseverance is pervasive in Biblical book titled Hebrews, which is an address to Jews experiencing persecution for believing in Christ. The author of this book understands the plight of the Jewish Christian has tempted them to give up and go back to traditional practices associated with Jewish temple theology.
