1797 STEPHEN PALMER. The Glory and Prosperity of the Church of Jesus. Ordination of Isaac Braman of Rowley. George Whitefield took refuge with British troopsWe're a big fan of the ordination sermon. They provide a uniquely concentrated and intentional statement of the core values and perspectives of the Church in a given time and place. This is even further concentrated in the "charge" at the end, where the most important functions of the Gospel Ministry are laid on the Pastor as primary sacred duties. Both personally and historically interesting reading. Excellent and very optimistic ordination sermon
