This Date in History: Jonathan Edwards Dismissed

By , About.com GuideJune 22, 2006

Follow me on:

June 22, 1750: Jonathan Edwards was dismissed from his post as minister of the Congregational church in Northampton, MA. He had been there fore 23 years, but his ultra-conservative theology never wavered and over time both it and his inflexibility on administrative matters had become too much for the congregation.
