EVANGELICAL UNION

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 1 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
EVANGELICAL UNION , a religious denomination which originated in the suspension of the Rev. James
Morison
  (1816-1893), minister of a United Secession congregation in
Kilmarnock
 ,
Scotland
 , for certain views regarding faith, the
work
  of the Holy Spirit in salvation, and the extent of the atonement, which were regarded by the supreme court of his church as
anti
 -Calvinistic and heretical.
Morison
  was suspended by the presbytery in 1841 and thereupon definitely withdrew from the Secession Church. His father, who was minister at Bathgate, and two other ministers, being deposed not long afterwards for similar opinions, the four met at
Kilmarnock
  on the 16th of May 1843 (two days before the " Disruption " of the Free Church), and, on the basis of certain doctrinal principles, formed themselves into an association under the name of the Evangelical Union, " for the purpose of countenancing, counselling and otherwise aiding one another, and also for the purpose of training up spiritual and devoted
young
  men to carry forward the
work
  and ` pleasure of the Lord.' " The doctrinal views of the new de-nomination gradually assumed a more decidedly
anti
 -Calvinisticform, and they began also to find many sympathizers among the Congregationalists of
Scotland
 . Nine students were expelled from the Congregational
Academy
  for holding " Morisonian " doctrines, and in 1845 eight churches were disjoined from the Congregational Union of Scotland and formed a connexion with the Evangelical Union. The Union exercised no jurisdiction over the individual churches connected with it, and in this respect adhered to the Independent or Congregational form of church government; but those congregations which originally were Presbyterian vested their government in a
body
  of elders. In 1889 the denomination numbered 93 churches; and in 1896, after prolonged negotiation, the Evangelical Union was incorporated with the Congregational Union of Scotland.
