Publisher's Synopsis
""A Presbyterian Clergyman Looking For The Church: By One Of Three Hundred"" is a book written by Flavel Scott Mines and published in 1853. The book is a personal account of the author's search for a church that aligns with his beliefs and values as a Presbyterian clergyman. Mines was one of three hundred ministers who left the Presbyterian Church in the United States due to disagreements over slavery and the role of the church in social issues. In the book, Mines describes his journey of exploration and discovery as he visits various churches and denominations, including the Episcopal Church, the Methodist Church, and the Unitarian Church. He reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of each denomination and ultimately concludes that there is no perfect church, but rather a diversity of expressions of faith that can all lead to a closer relationship with God. The book provides insight into the religious landscape of mid-nineteenth century America and the challenges faced by clergy and congregations in finding a spiritual home.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
