The Plan Of Union

The Plan of Union: Or A History of the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches of the Western Reserve is a historical book written by William Sloane Kennedy and published in 1856. The book explores the history of the Presbyterian and Congregational churches in the Western Reserve, which was a region in northeastern Ohio during the 19th century. The book begins with an overview of the early settlement of the Western Reserve, including the establishment of churches and the growth of religious communities. It then delves into the history of the Presbyterian and Congregational churches in the region, discussing their origins, development, and key figures. Kennedy also explores the Plan of Union, a controversial agreement between the Presbyterian and Congregational churches that allowed them to work together and share resources. The Plan of Union was adopted in 1801 and remained in effect until 1852, when it was dissolved due to theological differences between the two denominations. Throughout the book, Kennedy provides detailed accounts of the churches, their leaders, and their contributions to the religious and cultural landscape of the Western Reserve. He also includes anecdotes and personal stories that bring the history to life. Overall, The Plan of Union is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion in the United States, particularly in the Midwest during the 19th century. It offers a unique perspective on the development of two important denominations and their impact on a specific region of the country.With Biographical Sketches Of The Early Missionaries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
