The denomination's historian tells the story of its birthplace. John Murray's congregation at Gloucester was the first organized Universalist church in America, and its refusal to pay taxes to the parish church produced a landmark lawsuit for religious liberty. Eddy's centennial discourse, with its appended documents and records, is the fullest account of the Gloucester church's founding generation.
