Excerpt from Report of the Discussion on the Late Disruption in the Presbyterian Church: Which Took Place in St. Andrew's Church, Galt, on Tuesday, May 27, 1845
Mr Bayne proceeded to say, that if he should be able to prove that the Church of Scotland had sinned in matters fundamental, and if he also proved that the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Canada in connexion with her had become art and part in their sin, then it would follow as a matter ofcourse that all who did not separate themselves from her, committed similar wickedness, and did dishonour to the Christian faith and their great M aster~ and Head but if, on the contrary, he did not prove those accusations, or his positions were proved to be unsound or untenable, then would be (mr Bayne)? Give them up and retract them, admit his error, and do what he could to make amends for it and he hoped each of those who had heard him would be ready to adopt a similar course.
First, then, he had to prove that the Church of Scotland had sinned in matters vital and fundamental.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the events that led to the disruption of the Presbyterian Church in Canada in connection with the established Church of Scotland. During the Scottish Enlightenment, patronage had increasingly been exercised as a civil right. Despite petitions, this practice remained unchanged until 1834 when the Church of Scotland passed the Veto Act, empowering congregations to vote against unwelcome ministerial candidates. This book covers the heated debate that followed as the General Assembly sought to reverse this decision and parliamentarians, such as Fox Maule, debated the legality of the act. In addition, the author examines the secessionist movement and the arguments made by both those who remained with the established church in Scotland and those who went on to form the Free Church. It also explores the Evangelical and Moderate parties that emerged within the church and their impact on the church's direction during this period of great change.
