- Description:
- Sermon written by Reverend Henry Newton describing the duties and obligations involved in the pastoral relationship between a pastor and his congregants. Newton first describes how a pastor must have his basic, worldly needs met and how he is still a man and, therefore, must have his imperfections forgiven. He then describes how a minister is charged with preaching so a congregation is thus charged to listen, how a minister's duties are great so a congregation must not be unreasonble in its expectations of him, and how a congregation must encourage its minister. Finally, he pleas for affection and kindness towards ministers. Also contained in this document is a brief note on the state of churches in Newton's area.
From notes: Title information charred, appears to have been written when G. T Goetchius was appointed as a pastor, related to next document; also contains information related to the Presbytery of Hopewell/Athens, 1855-1871 - Metadata URL:
