Other
Protestant Sects
Other
Protestant sects have been treated in Bromberger, Bonnie, and
Collier, Christopher. “Aaron Hunt and the Methodist Fight Against
Second-Class Citizenship.” CHS Bulletin 32(April, 1967)2:48-50.
Methodist ministers were by practice itinerants and thus not considered
“settled.” They were not given the exemption from taxation granted
other ministers as late as 1800.
Denison,
John L. Some Items of Baptist History in Connecticut, 1674-1900.
Philadelphia: American Baptist Association, 1900. McLaughlin
supersedes this work.
Palmer,
Albert G. The Early Baptists of Connecticut. Boston: Gould,
Kendall, and Lincoln, 1844.
Watt,
McDonald. From Heresy Toward Truth: The Story of Universalism
in Greater Hartford and Connecticut. Hartford: The Universalist
Church, 1971. Watt supersedes Palmer.
In
general, the best way to study the religious sects of past and
present Connecticut is through their churches. Church histories
are one of the categories omitted from this bibliography, and
readers are referred to the work by John Kemp discussed in the
“Bibliographies” section.
