| Bio notes | A Protestant movement in which each congregation runs its affairs independently and autonomously. This style of church was particularly prevalent in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Congregationalists founded Harvard College in 1636 to train ministry. By start of 19th century, most Congregational churches became Unitarian in theology. In 1801 they adopted a Plan of Union with the Presbyterians for joint missionary activity in the western territories, including into New York and the Old Northwest, for the next fifty years. Their theological and social policies were generally liberal for the era. |
