Sixty years with Plymouth Church

"Sixty Years with Plymouth Church" by Stephen Morrell Griswold is a record of one man's journey through faith and community at a prominent church in 19th-century Brooklyn. The book starts with Griswold's move from the countryside to the bustling city in 1851, where he finds himself drawn to Plymouth Church and its influential pastor, Henry Ward Beecher. Griswold highlights the church's lively atmosphere, inventive religious services, and its important role in fighting for social change, especially its strong support for ending slavery. As the story unfolds, readers can expect to see how the church developed over time and the dedication of its members to their beliefs and making the world a better place.
