Obscure incorporation and deeds records b. Foreign Religious Corporations, incorporated in Delaware RELIGION IN DELAWARE In spite of numerous changes of government during the period of early settlement, freedom of worship was never seriously threatened within the territory that forms the State of Delaware. The first Christian religious services on this soil were probably informal ceremonies of the (Dutch) Reformed Church conducted in the whaling colony (Swanendael) planted at the site of the Lewes in 1631. It had been organized by the Dutch navigator, David Petersen de Vries of Hoorn for the company of Dutch patrons. Similar services may have been held on the bay at Paradise Point where legend says the Swedes first landed on their way up the Delaware in the spring of 1638, and were undoubtedly held at the site of Wilmington where they made final landing. The leader of the expedition, Peter Minuit, of French Waloon extraction was a man of deep religious feeling who had been either a deacon of the Dutch or an elder of the French Protestant church at Wesel, in the Duchy of Cleves, his home town on the Rhine, and had been an elder of the Dutch Reformed church in Amsterdam, while he was governor of New Netherland. Because he was now in Swedish service and at least a part of his soldiers were Swedes, ceremonies of the Swedish Lutheran Church must also have been conducted. With the arrival of the second expedition the Swedish Lutheran Church was firmly established on the Delaware. Although the companies which promoted the colonizing of New Sweden were chiefly commercial in purpose, opportunity for the spread of the Gospel had been among the original considerations that appealed to leaders in Sweden. When the Swedes surrendered to the Dutch in 1655, the terms concluded between Governor Johan Rising and Director-General Peter Stuyvesant of New Netherland included permission to continue worship according to their own faith. And this promise was kept, although the Swedish Lutherans in New Amsterdam during the same period suffered from the persecution of Stuyvesant. At the time of the Dutch conquest, a reader of the Dutch Reformed faith was appointed to serve at Fort Casimir (New Castls) and a church was organized in that settlement then called New Amstel, in a657, after the region about the fort had come into possession of the city of Amsterdam. That year, a house on the southeast side of the Market Place was made into a small wooden church. Upon surrender of the Delaware River territory to the English Duke of York in 1664, the articles of capitulation provided for liberty of conscience in church discipline, as formerly. The Dutch church at New Castle may have continued well into the last decade of the cnetury, but dwindled in importance as the population became predominantly English. Although no extant records are available the presumption would be that it became defunct, but a creedal similarity and the experiences undergone by other Dutch Reformed churches would indicate that the congregation might have formed the nucleus for a later Presbyterian church. 4 The Swedish church at Fort Christina (Wilmington) lost importance when the capital of New Sweden was moved up the river by Governor Johan Pritz in 1643.

  • Forever Beginning 3
    Forever Beginning 3 FOREVER BEGINNING by Stephen W. Barninger, 1966 [editor’s note: This paper was prepared for the Bicentennial Oratorical Contest for senior high youth sponsored by the Conference Historical Society in connection with the celebration of the Bicentennial of American Methodism held at the 1966 annual conference. The 1966 date uses the 1766 preaching of Philip Embury in New York as the start of Methodism in America, but it has since been established that Robert Strawbridge began the work a few years earlier in Maryland.] We can trace our American Methodist heritage back to the fall of 1735, when General James Oglethorpe, founder of the colony of Georgia, made known his need for a clergyman in his American settlement. John Wesley was the answer to this need. Thus, he sailed from Gravesend, England, in October of that same year. When John arrived in America in February of 1736, accompanied by his brother Charles, he made a very auspicious beginning. The people looked forward to the blessings of an ordained ministry, and Wesley had great anticipation of converting many Indians in the immediate area of the infant colony. But time proved this enthusiasm to be transitory, and within the period of one year John Wesley returned to England a discouraged and disheartened man, realizing that he didn’t possess the very gift that he had hoped to give. Yet when his successor George Whitefield came onto the American scene, he was led to make this statement: “The good John Wesley has done in America is inexpressible. His name is very precious among the people, and he has laid a foundation that I hope neither man nor devils will ever be able to shake.” And so one disheartened, weary and undone John Wesley struck the spark which strangely warmed the hearts of people now some ten million strong.
