This book chronicles the proceedings of an ecclesiastical council convened over a dispute within a local church. The dispute arose when a member, Ezekiel Goss, requested a letter of dismission to join another church but was met with the refusal of his home church, the Tabernacle Church. Goss appealed to the local conference, who in turn called for this council. At the heart of the dispute was a theological disagreement about the nature and authority of the church and its members. The author provides detailed accounts of the testimonies and discussions that took place during the council, presenting arguments from both sides of the issue. Through an exploration of church history and the foundational principles of Congregationalism, the author illuminates the significance of church covenants and the rights and responsibilities of members within a covenantal community. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of Congregationalism, offering insights into the complexities of church governance and the importance of mutual accountability and covenant faithfulness.
