The religious denominations in the United States: their history, doctrine, government and statisticsWith a preliminary sketch of Judaism, paganism and Mohammedanism . onverts wished to be organized into a council was called from Rhode Island and Connecticut; which wasattended by Mr. Babcock, of Westerly, and an Elder Crandall, whoordained Mr. Corp the pastor of the church which they had does not appear that any farther correspondence was ever maintainedbetween these ministers. Elder Corp and his church met with greatopposition, nevertheless the vine grew and flourished.
