Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive examination of the legal issues surrounding a bequest made in 1817 to the town of Dublin, New Hampshire, to support the Christian religion within its Congregational society. At the heart of the case is the interpretation of the term "Congregational persuasion" as used in the will, with the crux of the dispute being whether Unitarian ministers qualify as beneficiaries of the fund. The author delves into the historical and religious context of the time, exploring the doctrinal differences between orthodox Congregationalists and Unitarians. Through an analysis of church records, sermons, and legal precedents, the book sheds light on the complex question of what constitutes a "regularly ordained minister of the Congregational persuasion." Ultimately, the author's insights provide valuable guidance for understanding the legal and theological complexities surrounding religious trusts and the interpretation of wills.
