Description
Rev. D.H. Sargent (appointed to Franklin MEC) writes to Finley concerning the "pew question." Sargent wants Finley to know that he has not changed his position and still supports Finley's view that churches should be able to allow mixed seating ("promiscuous seating"- men and women sitting together in church pews). As a young man in the Cincinnati Conference, he has not felt able to express his own position publicly, but wants Finley to know that he stands with him on the issue -- A society should be able to govern itself with regard to seating, singing, etc. Abstract Number - 477
