Excerpt from Proceedings of a Council in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York, for the Installation of the Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D., As Pastor, and the Ordination and Installation of the Rev. Howard S. Bliss, as Assistant Pastor, Held January 16, 1890: With a Sermon The proceedings of the Council called to advise and assist in the installation of the pastor-elect and the ordination and installation of the assistant pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, January 16, 1890, have been thought worthy of permanent preservation in book form, on account of the special interest and the special significance attaching to the event. This is not merely because the installation over this Christian Church, made illustrious by nearly half a century's pastorate of the greatest preacher of the century, if not of all centuries, makes it an historic occasion; but still more because it marks a distinct development of the life of the Church, at least of the Congregational churches, in the United States. It is this fact, beyond the others and added to them, which gives to this Council and to its results a distinctly valuable character, and demands of the student of current events especial attention to its significance. Other churches have their missions and their mission pastors, and these latter are doing a large and noble work, worthy of all generous recognition. But it was made clearly to appear on this occasion that Mr. Bliss, though for the time being he has the especial charge of one of Plymouth's two missions, was not ordained and installed as a missionary pastor, but as a co-ordinate pastor with his senior in Plymouth Church. There are other assistants in the work of that church - one ordained clergyman in the special charge of the Mayflower Chapel, and two Parish Visitors (if we may coin a title to designate their office) in connection with the two chapels respectively. Thus Plymouth Church sets about the problem of city evangelization with the germ of a cathedral organization - a sort of Den and Chapter. To what it may lead we cannot, of course, pretend to foretell. Other churches, notably St. George's (Episcopal) in New-York, and the Berkeley Street Temple (Congregational) of Boston, are similarly and more thoroughly organized. But the experiment, if not absolutely new in non-Episcopal organizations, is nevertheless an experiment, and the Council's cordial approbation of the movement gives to it new force and sanction. Dr. Whiton's address may perhaps be fairly regarded as an interpretation of this aspect of this historic Council. More notable, if not more significant, is the catholic composition of a Council which contained distinguished representatives of six denominations - the Congregational, Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Reformed.
