The Plan of Union in Ohio
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2009
Extract
The operation of the Plan of Union in Ohio, while less spectacular in its effects than in New York, was equally important, and needs to be thoroughly understood by the student of the pioneer development of either Presbyterianism or Congregationalism in Ohio.
It is not strange if in New York Congregational writers regarded the Plan as a misfortune, since all Congregational associations dissolved or became absorbed in the Presbyterian system. Yet in Ohio, too, where Congregationalism was more successful in surviving its influence, the reader of the papers of the Ohio Church History Society, a Congregational group, runs across such expressions as “those dark days of the prevalence of the Plan of Union,” “the unclean thing,” and descriptions of what seemed to them an unmixed calamity.
