In "The Christian Ministry Not A Priesthood," Henry A. Boardman delivers a compelling sermon that challenges traditional notions of the Christian ministry. Preached at the opening of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 17, 1855, this discourse offers a nuanced perspective on the role of ministers within the church.

Boardman's sermon, originally delivered to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, explores the distinction between the Christian ministry and the concept of a priesthood. His arguments, deeply rooted in theological principles, provide valuable insights into the historical and doctrinal foundations of Presbyterianism.

This historical document provides a window into 19th-century religious thought and ecclesiastical practices. "The Christian Ministry Not A Priesthood" remains relevant for those interested in religious history, Presbyterian theology, and the evolving understanding of ministry within Christianity.
