New must-downloads from Google Books
I love a freebie, especially if it’s a book that doesn’t take up shelf space.
The reason I made it to a search of All Souls Bethlehem Church yesterday is because I had just been by the Fourth Universalist, New York site, the successor church to the Broadway church were the famous Universalist minister Edwin Hubbell Chapin once pastored. And I had just found of book of his sermons available at Google Books as a PDF download.
I also found a download of the Gospel Liturgy, which I’m not sure I’ve mentioned before, and Gloria Patria Revised, the 1903 prayer book that gave us the creed I have listed under “Pages”: I had lost my copy and have never been able to replace it! Also a work on early American prayer books that includes the Unitarians — more than just King’s Chapel! — and Universalists. That last volume is helpful because it notes without judgment those elements that made each distinct.
Now the links:
- Select Sermons Preached in the Broadway Church by Edwin Hubbell Chapin (1859)
- The Gloria Patri Revised edited by Elmer Hewitt Capen and Leo Rich Lewis (1903)
- The Gospel Liturgy: A Prayer-book for Churches, Congregations, and Families by Abel Charles Thomas for the Universalist General Convention (1887)
- Early Prayer Books of America by John Wright (1896)

Dude,
I may have a second Gloria P. around here someplace… I will look. My previous church had quite a few.
