"Some Phases of Sexual Morality and Church Discipline in Colonial New England" by Charles Francis Adams is a look into the past, examining the connection between how people acted in the bedroom and the rules of the church in Colonial New England. The story looks at church records to understand how leaders handled things like sex before marriage and people admitting their sins. It questions how people really behaved compared to what everyone thought was right and wrong. By looking at these old cases and issues, the story explains what they reveal about society, sin, and forgiveness during this time in history, and how it all affected people's lives.
