Congregational Articles of Faith

If you have the opportunity to view a volume of original records from one the Congregational Societies what you will find in the opening pages are a number of documents that record the oaths and covenants that each member pledges to accept. One of those documents is their Articles of Faith. The Articles of Faith represent the tenants of Congregational belief reduced to their simplest form. This copy is from Madison, Connecticut. The heading reads, "These Persons all publicly assent to the following Articles of Faith and Covenant".
