| | Solomon Stoddard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Stoddard's interest was to insure the growth of church congregations in a colony of second-generation pilgrims who were increasingly interested in politics and economics, and less interested in religion than their immigrant parents. | | | Stoddard is credited with The Halfway Covenant, a relaxation of the rules of Communion that accompanied a decline of piety in the Congregational church. | | | Stoddard had a major influence on his grandson and was succeeded by him as the pastor of the church at Northampton. |

| | Solomon Stoddard was referred to as the "Pope" of the Connecticut Valley and was revered almost as a god in that area. | | | Stoddard defended his "open communion," as it came to be called, by claiming that the sacraments were a "converting ordinance." Communion was not simply a special privilege for church members; it was also a means God used to reach the unregenerate. | | | Stoddard defined a church as "a society of saints joined together, according to the appointment of Christ for the constant carrying on of his public worship." He supported a Presbyterian-style of government, where the pastor was elected by the church body but then received almost ultimate power. |

| | Jonathan Edwards (theologian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Edwards's grandfather and predecessor, Solomon Stoddard, had been even more liberal, holding that the Supper was a converting ordinance and that baptism was a sufficient title to all the privileges of the church. | | | Of her piety and almost nun-like love of God and belief in His personal love for her, Edwards had known when she was only thirteen, and had written of it with spiritual enthusiasm; she was of a bright and cheerful disposition, a practical housekeeper, a model wife and the mother of his twelve children. | | | The Half-Way Covenant adopted by the synods of 1657 and 1662 had made baptism alone the condition to the civil privileges of church membership, but not of participation in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. |

| | The second motif, Stoddard's attraction to hierarchical church governance and his disdain for laymen's presumptuousness as judges of souls, is evident in The Doctrine of Instituted Churches (1700) and An Examination of the Power of the Fraternity (1718). | | | After years of argument, Stoddard persuaded his church to open the Lord's Supper to all who were not openly sinful in life and to embrace that sacrament as a possible means of receiving God's saving grace. | | | It appeared to Stoddard and many of his contemporaries that the children of the intensely religious founders were faltering in spiritual intensity. |

| | Solomon Stoddard, for example, preached that anyone with respectable morals who performed charitable tasks within the community could be baptized into the church. | | | In 1690, Solomon Stoddard, pastor of the church in Northampton, Massachusetts from 1669 to 1729, eliminated the Halfway Covenant and allowed the non-confederates, the "halfway members" of the church, to receive Communion. | | | Isolating the third generation of Puritans from the traditional means of receiving God's grace, this Covenant furthered the degeneration of the church. |

| | Solomon Stoddard was to the Colonial Churches what the famous John Gill was to the Particular Baptist Churches in London and the Home Counties in his day, the Primate and Prince amongst them in an evangelical sense. | | | Stoddard, however, believed in Edwards not because of his intellectual ability but rather because of his deep spirituality. | | | That to Stoddard was the one thing needful in the gospel ministry. |

| | He was one of the first to advocate the theory of political absolutism; he made the argument that government was divine and that kings received their power from God. | | | Stoddard significantly liberalized church policy while promoting more power for the clergy, decrying drinking and extravagance and urging the preaching of hellfire and the Judgment. | | | After giving his life to serving the poor, he founded the first Confraternity of Charity in 1617, the Congregation of the Mission in 1625 and the Daughters of Charity in 1633 (the first non-monastic women's order completely given to care of the sick and poor). |

| | Stoddard was himself an excellent preacher and his church prospered tremendously under the new system. | | | From there he began his relentless assault on the source of corruption of the original "errand into the wilderness." That source, he believed, was Arminianism, a "heresy" that is found in most large hierarchical religious establishments, and most acutely in the Roman and Anglican Churches. | | | Stoddard also began making subtle changes in the structure of the church. |

| | This was a contradiction of Solomon Stoddard's Half-Way Covenant which had allowed baptized adults to become church members if they did not lead "scandalous" lives, in spite of not having made an adult confession of faith. | | | In the fall of 1726, he was offered an assistant pastorate in the Congregational Church, Northampton, Massachusetts, where his grandfather, Solomon Stoddard, was pastor. | | | Edwards' reversal of Stoddard's policy led to strong congregational reaction and refusal to accept his stand. |

| | In August 1726, his maternal grandfather, Solomon Stoddard, invited Jonathan to assist him in the church at Northampton. | | | Edwards required a credible profession of faith for admission to the Lord's Supper (i.e., a knowledge of the basic teaching of the Christian faith; a profession of acceptance of that doctrine; a life which reflected that profession). | | | The young grandson of Solomon Stoddard would most definitely not be invited back! |

| | Upon Eleazar Mather’s death in 1669, Solomon Stoddard assumed the First Church pulpit and married Mather’s widow, Esther. | | | The Puritan Covenant had restricted church membership to those graced by a personal conversion experience, that is to say, “born again.” But the “born again” experience did not occur so often in those days, and church membership declined. | | | In order to fill the pews, the “Half-Way” Covenant granted limited membership to those baptized in the church, assuming that in the fullness of time any God-fearing Puritan would undergo a conversion. |

| | Stoddard argued that the church should indeed consist of visible saints, and that those who did not exhibit such signs should be excluded altogether and banished from the church. | | | But in the meantime, the inclusive policies of the Halfway Covenant received an extra push from the presbyterianizing Solomon Stoddard. | | | Yea, hee may be qualified for full communion, and yett not to be admitted unto full communion untill such time as his qualifications have passed under the churches examination." But Stoddard pointed out that the standards for admission in the New Testament did not include entering church covenants or taking doctrinal exams. |

| | Stoddard was unusual for a New England Puritan in that he allowed an open communion and called for broader church oversight than was the Congregational standard form of church polity. | | | Congregational opponents such as Cotton Mather often referred to him as "Pope" Stoddard, placing him in the locally detested camp of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | Stoddard was a Puritan minister at a Congregationalist Church in Northampton, Massachusetts for 57 years (1672-1729). |
