Puritan Ministers

[yankees13]

What was the role of Puritan ministers?

[Romeo]

To lead prayers, preach semons, conduct weddings / christenings / funerals, organise coffee mornings and arrange bring-and-buy sales for the Church Restoration Fund.

[Narolines]

To minister to Puritans?

[Clanad]

Two roles, joined hand in hand to be one,  were the minister's duty to be the interpreter of Scripture and to be the "peacemaker", i.e., both maintaining peace among his parishoners as well as assuring the individual had achieved peace with his brothers before taking communion.  Puritanism was the epitomy of a "works" based faith, and as such led to many persecutions of it's own members as well as some outside that denomination.  It did, however, lead to the "Great Awakening" of the mid to late 18th and early 19th centuries in America... perhaps the largest revival movement experienced, at least in the New World...

[BlackRose]

Minister to Puritans, damn non-christians, and to save them.
