AMERICA: A Christian Nation? | Fracturing Denominations – Division (1848-1877)
About this episode
Pastor Sam Rainer discusses the impact of the church during the divisive era of American history from the 1840s to the 1870s.
In this special summer series, Pastor Sam Rainer walks through six eras of American history and explains the church’s impact in each era. During the 1840s and through the 1870s, the United States experienced a painful division, culminating in the Civil War. Churches and denominations were divided during this period as well. The answer to division is not pretending our differences do not exist. The answer is not institutional uniformity. The answer is being clothed in the righteousness and character of Christ.
