Resolution of the Convention of Congregational Ministers

v2:876

The Convention, taking into consideration the method of furnishing the Army with Chaplains, agreeably to the offer they have made to the honourable Congress, think it most expedient that a sufficient number of persons should be chosen out of their members by the Officers of the Army, to officiate statedly, rather than by quick rotation in that character; and the Convention depend that the parochial duties of those Ministers who shall serve in the Army, will be performed by their brethren in the vicinity.
