Excerpt from Manual of Congregationalism: Prepared for the General Conference of the Congregational Churches of Maine, and Recommended by That Body to the Consideration of the Churches
IT has been made a question, whether there is any precise model of church organization and government laid down in the scriptures, 'to which Christians universally are under obliga tions to conform. By some it has been contend ed that this is the case; that nothing is left to the discretion Of the church that we are bound to follow, in every particular, the divine pattern which has been given us. By others it is assert ed that we have no divine pattern which is at all Obligatory that Christians are left to their own judgment in this matter; that it is not only their right, but their duty, to modify the government Of the church, according to the circumstances of the age and country in which they live.
