Description:Maine’s oldest church is Unitarian, founded in Portland in 1674. Half of Maine’s early governors were Unitarians. Maine’s oldest Universalist congregation was founded in rural Norway in 1798. Inland Universalists prevailed against the emotional excesses of frontier revivalists and rigid Calvinist doctrines of a hell. Their message was instead benevolent, “God is Love.” Evidence of an early liberal presence in rural Maine abounds along small roads, and in scattered villages. Some of these buildings now house historical societies or condominiums. As a teenager with a Brownie camera, Peter Richardson started tracking them down and recording them. He imagined a world without electricity, an absence of paved roads and bridges over Maine’s great rivers and streams, a landscape of farms and general stores. Circuitriding ministers founded 71 congregations in a single decade of Maine’s early history. Over the past 50 years, Richardson has studied how the religion adapted to the growth of manufacturing and today’s post-industrial world. How did autos and trains impact a religion with churches in hamlets at crossroads? Congregations blossomed in 286 of Maine’s cities and towns, spreading permanent humane changes for a wider religious influence, which survives as Unitarian Universalist congregations in Maine society today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
