The Church Polity of the Pilgrims: A Sermon (1857) is a religious text written by Joshua Wyman Wellman. The book focuses on the church government and structure of the Pilgrims, a group of English separatists who fled to America in the early 17th century to escape religious persecution. The author argues that the Pilgrims' church polity was based on the principles of congregationalism and democracy, with each member having an equal say in the affairs of the church. Wellman also examines the role of the pastor and the importance of individual conscience in the Pilgrims' religious beliefs. The book provides insight into the history and religious practices of the Pilgrims, as well as their influence on American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
