Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on an 1819 conflict between James Thurston, a Massachusetts minister, and a group of his church and parish members. It presents compelling evidence to support the members' belief that Thurston's conduct was unbecoming of a minister, including accusations of shingle theft, libel, and unethical behavior. The author provides a detailed account of the events leading up to a majority of the church and parish members leaving Thurston's society, including town meetings, altercations, and other incidents. Through testimonies, letters, and meticulous documentation, the book reveals the extent of Thurston's alleged misconduct and the reasons behind the community's loss of confidence in him.
