"The Church, the Ministry, and Slavery" presents a compelling snapshot of the moral and religious debates surrounding slavery in mid-19th century America. Delivered in Rutland, Massachusetts, on July 14, 1850, this discourse by George E. Fisher sheds light on the perspectives within the church regarding this divisive issue. Fisher's work provides valuable insight into the complex interplay between religious belief, social conscience, and the institution of slavery during a pivotal period in American history.

This historical document offers a unique lens through which to examine the ethical dilemmas faced by religious leaders and congregations as they grappled with the moral implications of slavery. It remains relevant for those studying American history, religious history, and the ongoing struggle for social justice.
