  • Our History Tracing Our Congregation from 1729 to Today
    Our History Tracing our Congregation from 1729 to Today ARLINGTON STREET CHURCH Unitarian Universalist Beginnings • Our community began as a group of Scots-Irish Calvinists gathered in a converted barn on Long Lane in Boston on November 15th, 1729. The inhospitable residents of Boston dubbed them derogatorily as “The Church of the Presbyterian Strangers,” and the name stuck. The building be- came known as the Long Lane Meeting House. • A real church was built on the site in 1744; in it, the Massachusetts State Convention met and ratified the Constitution of the United States on February 7th, 1788. When the street name was changed from Long Lane to Federal Street in honor of the event, the building became known as The Federal Street Church • In 1787, the congregation, wanting to be self- governing, voted to call Jeremy Belknap, a liberal Congregationalist, to lead them in adopting the congregational form of governance. Thus they left the required creed and rule of the Presbytery. • William Ellery Channing, often known as the Fa- ther of GatheredAmerican Unitarianism, served as Senior Minister at the Federal Street Church from 1803 to 1842. Under his leadership the congregation prospered. To accommodate the crowds that Channing drew, the thirdin meeting house, Lovede- and Service signed by the noted Charles Bulfinch, was built in 1809 on the Federal Street site. • In 1819 Channing delivered “The Baltimore Sermon,” which defined the new Unitarianfor the- Justice and Peace ology for the burgeoning Unitarian movement. Although Channing originally resisted formation of a new denomination, under the direction of his associate and later successor, Ezra Stiles Gan- nett, the move toward separation from the Con- gregationalists began.

  • And Guide to Massachusetts State Legislative Documents, 1802-1882
    ^A^^ sH.3'-:ro Y^ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS MSSACHUSETTS ^ INDEX AND GUIDE TO \ STATE LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS 1^02-1882 Compiled by Francis X. Blouin Jr. Massachusetts State Library- George Fingold Library- State House, Boston 1972 MASSACHUSETTS STATE LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS l802-iaS2 During the nineteenth century, the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts experienced an almost complete transformation. The changes which took place during those years touched all aspects of life and segments of society within the state. The popiolation, continually increasing, became in many ways diversified. The mobility of existing population and immigra- tion produced numerous changes in the political, social and intellectual life of the state. Once dependent on agriculture and shipping, the state by 1880 was one of the most industrial- ized in the nation. The nineteenth century population experienced rapid urbanization as nximerous new cities and towns arose throughout the state and population increased in those already in existence. By the l880*s the state seemed much smaller as canals and especially the railroad provided a transportation network which latticed the entire state. One of the more active participants in this process of change was the IVIass, General Court. Though perhaps as much an observer as participant, the General Court , through consider- ation of various petitions and reports placed before it, left behind a mound of legislative documents regarding various as- pects of political, economic, and social life in 19th century Massachusetts, In all more than 15,000 separate pieces of legislation were considered during the years 1802-1882, Most of these dociiments have remained lost between the covers of the enormous volvimes in which the bills and reports are bound.

  • Church of the Disciples
    Church of the Disciples At one point in 1839, Clarke put pen to paper in a pro and con exercise as to whether or not he should stay with the Louisville congregation he had served since 1833: What reasons are there for supposing that I am doing good here? 1. The society has increased slowly and is increasing 2. There are many in it who are warmly attached to me 3. Prejudice has been done away [with] among the sects. 4. There is an increasing spirit of religious interest and the church is increasing. What reasons are there for doubting whether I am doing much good? 1. There have been difficulties for the last two or three years & dissatisfaction. 2. There has been more difficulty in raising money than previously, & many who formerly gave now refuse to give. 3. Few pews sold or rented, and the increase very slow of the congregation. 4. Dislike expressed to my manner—to my not visiting enough—to my going away every year, editing messenger, etc., etc. I am doing some good, but not unmixed. (MS entitled “Considerations on Leaving the Louisville Church, In Colville, p. 83) He shared these pro and con sentiments with his fiancée, Anna Huidekoper and her father Harm Jan of Meadville, PA, and they encouraged him to stay on at least for another year, asserting that he would confront a few discontents in any congregation he might serve. So he decided to stay on After Anna joined him as his new wife, however, he became convinced that a return to Boston would be best, so in February of 1840 he resigned, requesting to leave by May 1 but offering to stay until the congregation found a successor.
