Excerpt from The Congregational Catechism, 1844: Containing a General Survey of the Organization, Government and Discipline of Christian Churches
The Congregational Catechism exhibits in a condensed form the Constitution of the first Christian Churches; the principal modifications of ecclesiastical government in succeeding ages; the Constitution of the Congregational churches and its superiority to other ecclesiastical systems; together with an outline of the general frame and regulations of the other principal forms of church order and government. The most important principle advanced in the work, is, that the divine Head of the church established no complete system of order and rule according to which His church must be organized and governed, to the exclusion of every other; but yet that the Congregational system corresponds most closely with the primitive plan, and answers best the ends of confederation in Christian churches.
