Summary |
The Presbyterian minister David Swing was a well-known, popular Chicago preacher. But Francis Patton, a Presbyterian minister who came to Chicago in 1871, considered him a heretic for claiming that men were saved by works. He brought charges against him; the Synod of Illinois, North tried him and acquitted him. A determined Patton appealed, arguing that the trial considered evidence that ought to have been excluded, that the judges were prejudiced in Swing's favor, and that Swing's "false and dangerous" preachings deserved censure. Before the appeal was decided, Swing concluded that he had incurred enough unpleasantness, resigned from the presbytery, and started his own church, which garnered a large following |
