21. Finnish Church
Introduction of the first pastor since 1961 to be elected to preach at the church. Brief history, photograph, and worship schedule provided.
http://congregationalist.org/Nov_00/Finnish.html
First Since 1961 Finnish Church Elects Congregational Minister The Finnish Congregational Church of South Thomaston, Maine, has fulfilled a symbolic 93-year cycle in its history. On September 10, Rev. Terence Willis , Pastor Emeritus of the Payson Park Congregational Church in Belmont, Massachusetts, was officially elected to preach at the bi-weekly worship services of the local church. Therefore, Rev. Willis becomes the first pastor from the Congregational persuasion to serve this former Mission Station, since the death of the last of a long line of Finnish Congregational ministers in 1961. The tiny church had been served from 1961 to 1995 by various lay pastors of other denominations, with occasional visiting Finnish clergy of Lutheran and Congregational persuasions. The past five years witnessed a devoted ministry by Duane Pease , a lay pastor from the nearby South Hope Community Church. Rev. Willis and his wife Vera, are both originally from Plymouth, England. They bring a long history of dedicated Christian ministry to their new home in coastal Maine. He received his theological education at New College, London University, and was ordained in 1967 at the United Reform Christ Church in Rayleigh, England. They served the parish there until 1980, when they accepted the call to preach in America, at the historic Payson Park Congregational Church in Belmont, Massachusetts. Recently retired after a successful 19-year-ministry there, the couple decided to become permanent residents of St. George, Maine. This coastal community had been their favorite vacation spot for many years.

Hatred Not Exclusive to Islam
Thought I'd pull this together. Fawaz Damra God is One found on page 27, by placing the shoe on the other foot, so to speak: Yet, if he were fair, the reviewer would entertain such questions as "What is it about the sayings of Jesus that inspires such sectarian hatred as found in the Irish Republican Army?" Or try this question: "What is it about the Christian political tradition that led dozens, if not hundreds, of state and federal officials, including governors and senators, not only in the American South, but also in the Midwest to embrace the Klan, thereby aiding and abetting it in the lynching of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent civilians?" I, of course, would have prima facie objections to such questions. As a Congregationalist, I do not, and cannot, identify groups such as the IRA or the Klan as Christian. Most of us can easily see through the Christian trappings appropriated by such groups and recognize their usage of the Cross, for example, as a perversion of the faith. Rev. Steven Blackburn, Ph.D.

Congregationalism
Congregationalism is a form of church government in which every local congregation is independent. The Anabaptist movement, Baptists , and the Congregationalist churches are organized according to it. In Christianity , it is distinguished from Presbyterian government, and Episcopalian government. Congregationalism is not limited only to the organization of Christian congregations. Most of the principles of congregationalism have been inherited by the Unitarian Universalist Association , by direct historical descent from the Congregational Church. The Neopagan Church of Wicca, and numerous other religious groups, which may dispense entirely with Biblical or Christian rationale, have adopted part or all of the congregationalist plan of organization
The basics of congregationalism in Christianity
Congregationalism is the theory that every local church is a full realization in miniature, of the entire Church of Jesus Christ; and, the Church while on earth, besides the local Church, can only be invisible and ideal. While other theories may insist on the truth of the first precept, the second of congregationalism gives the entire theory a unique character among plans of church government. There is no other reference than the local congregation, for the "visible church" in congregationalism. And yet, the connection of all Christians is also asserted, albeit in a way that can't be clearly or consistently described. This first, foundational principle by which congregationalism is guided, results in the extreme limitation of authority, confining it to operate with the consent of a single gathering of believers.

    ongregationalism is a form of Protestant Christianity which asserts the principle that a local congregation is completely autonomous under God and therefore should not submit to any outside, human authorities such as a regional or national synod of elders (as in Presbyterianism ) or a bishop (as in Episcopalianism). Baptists also practice this form of church government, but they are not referred to under the term Congregationalists (or its synonym Independents ). Congregationalists are those who practice this form of polity while also maintaining the practice of infant baptism. Because Congregationalism occupies a much humbler place in the configuration of Christianity today, it is easy to forget its prominence and significance in Victorian England. Likewise Congregationalism was not as numerically significant in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Although Congregationalists were important in the heady, turbulent days of the mid-seventeenth century claiming no less an adherent than the Protector, Oliver Cromwell himself the largest body at that time of what would become known in the Victorian period as "Old Dissent" was the Presbyterians. ("Old Dissent" refers to English denominations outside the Church of England which can trace their history back to the seventeenth century; "New Dissent" refers to the denominations which were founded in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a result of the

    Congregationalist church
    From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia.
    Congregationalist churches practice a congregationalist form of government, some of which trace their descent from the Congregational Church. The Congregational Church is a family of denominations of Christian Protestantism which arose from the Nonconformist religious movement in England, during the Puritan reformation. In Great Britain, the early congregationalists were called separatists or independents , and some congregationalists still call themselves "Independents" there. The Congregational Church was formed on a theory of union published by Robert Brown , in 1592. There are difficulties identifying such a specific beginning, because given its distinguishing commitment to the complete autonomy of the local congregation, congregationalism is more easily identified as a movement rather than a single denomination. The idea that each distinct congregation fully constitutes the visible Church can be traced to John Wyclif and the Lollard movement which followed after Wyclif was removed from teaching authority in the Roman Catholic Church . The early Congregationalists shared with Anabaptist theology the ideal of a pure church, which made adult conversion experience important for full membership in the church, unlike other

    Los Angeles to Providence, RI
    May - June 2004 See www.PilgrimRide.com for itinerary Congregationalists have precious rights…the right to shape our faith as we choose…the right to choose our minister and our church…the right to act individually for social justice…the right to fellowship with other churches and to reach out to other denominations. We are the church of the Pilgrims who gave us, in the Mayflower Compact, the first democratic document in our history. We led the abolitionist movement. We founded colleges all over our land. In an era of many magazines, the Congregationalist stands out as an independent voice of the congregational way and spirit. It reports on happenings both within and without the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches. This magazine in unique in that it does not charge for subscriptions. It is free to anyone. The Congregationalist needs a financial infusion in order to keep on publishing. Pastor Craig Walker of the Desert Congregational Church in Twentynine Palms CA is planning to ride his bicycle across America in May and June to raise money for the magazine. “This is a non-profit Christian magazine that reaches across America. The magazine can rightfully claim to be 150 years old, and is the oldest religious publication in America. Right now it needs our help to keep on publishing,” said Walker. The goal of the ride is to raise $50,000, with every penny given going to the magazine.

    http://www.christiansfordean.info/Congregationalists.html
    ARE CONGREGATIONALISTS REAL CHRISTIANS?
    from www.ChristiansforDean.info
    Many people have written to us here at Christians for Dean to say that congregationalists are not really Christians. This is not surprising, due to a lot of disinformation circulating in the press.
    For the sake of accuracy, I submit the following informative press release from the UCC:
    Howard Dean is one of many United Church of Christ members:
    A feature news release by J. Bennett Guess
    Editor, United Church News
    Like Bill Clinton and Al Gore, presidential candidate Richard Gephardt wears the Southern Baptist tag, while George Bush and John Edwards are United Methodists. John Kerry and Dennis Kucinich are life-long Roman Catholics.
    Carol Moseley Braun, no longer Catholic, worships as an Episcopalian. Joseph Lieberman is an Orthodox Jew, and the Rev. Al Sharpton, a Pentecostal minister, spends his Sunday mornings in the pulpit.
    Dean's wife, Judith Steinberg Dean, who also is a doctor, is Jewish. Their two children have been raised with exposure to both traditions by observing Jewish and Christian holidays.
    But New England is not the only place where the UCC can be found. Located in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, the UCC also is formidable in New York and Pennsylvania, the industrial Midwest, Missouri, the West Coast, Florida and Hawaii.
