In the 1820\u2019s there were disputes among members about the nature of God\u2014was God Trinitarian (one in three\u2014Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) or Unitarian (one God)? The argument split the church into two parishes, First Parish Unitarian, and \u201cThe Sherborn Evangelical Society\u201d (Trinitarian) formed in 1830. The frame for what we now call Pilgrim Church, was raised on July 8, 1830 and we worship in the original meeting house. In 1941 the two churches combined into one worship community for lack of members and finances. In 1961 the church split over doctrinal issues again.<\/p>\n<p>Pilgrim Church has been blessed with powerful and faithful ministers. Two of our most influential shepherds were Reverend Edmund Dowse and Reverend Dr. Kenneth Powell. Reverend Dowse began in 1838 and served for sixty-seven years, reputedly the longest ministry in the US. He also served more than 50 years as Chairman of the local School Committee, and was instrumental in the railroad routing through Sherborn. Rev. Dowse was also a Massachusetts State Senator for two years and served as Chaplain of the Senate for twenty-five years. His portrait hangs at the rear of the sanctuary over the chair in which he sat in the Massachusetts Senate.<\/p>\n<p>In 1979, Pilgrim Church called Reverend Ken Powell to be its new Pastor. Rev. Powell, a beloved Pastor to Pilgrim Church and the wider Sherborn community served Pilgrim Church for more than twenty years. His ministry was marked by a strengthening of the spiritual community and expansion in our Christian Education and Youth Ministry programs. Ken succumbed to cancer in the fall of 2007.<\/p>\n<p>In May of 2007 Pilgrim Church called the Reverend John F. Hudson to be its new Pastor. Reverend Hudson is a Massachusetts native, has served UCC churches throughout New England, and is a newspaper columnist for several local papers. His ministry has been marked by the church\u2019s renewed commitment to social outreach and justice, mission giving and a re-affirmation of our ministry to children and young people.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-14 dark nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: #3e7cc1;background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:10px;padding-right:30px;padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:30px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-21 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content-centered\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13 dark\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Join our Email list<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14 dark\"><div data-form-id=\"453\" id=\"ctct-form-wrapper-0\" class=\"ctct-form-wrapper\"><span class=\"ctct-form-description\" ><p>Get weekly news and inspiration.<\/p>\n<\/span><form class=\"ctct-form ctct-form-453 comment-form  no-recaptcha ctct-default\" id=\"ctct-form-3853933751\" data-doajax=\"off\" style=\"\" action=\"\" method=\"post\"><p class=\"ctct-form-field ctct-form-field-text\"><span class=\"ctct-label-hidden\"><label for=\"first_name___ed51a657eea322ff824e1866aa5f052a_0_3349312928\">First name <\/label><\/span><input aria-required=\"false\"  type=\"text\" id=\"first_name___ed51a657eea322ff824e1866aa5f052a_0_3349312928\" name=\"first_name___ed51a657eea322ff824e1866aa5f052a\"  value=\"\" class=\"ctct-text ctct-label-hidden first_name___ed51a657eea322ff824e1866aa5f052a\" maxlength=\"255\" placeholder=\"First name\"   \/><\/p><p class=\"ctct-form-field ctct-form-field-text\"><span class=\"ctct-label-hidden\"><label for=\"last_name___122bd5ccad45accffba139493fbafc8d_0_1480712932\">Last name <\/label><\/span><input aria-required=\"false\"  type=\"text\" id=\"last_name___122bd5ccad45accffba139493fbafc8d_0_1480712932\" name=\"last_name___122bd5ccad45accffba139493fbafc8d\"  value=\"\" class=\"ctct-text ctct-label-hidden last_name___122bd5ccad45accffba139493fbafc8d\" maxlength=\"255\" placeholder=\"Last name\"   \/><\/p><p class=\"ctct-form-field ctct-form-field-email ctct-form-field-required\"><span class=\"ctct-label-hidden\"><label for=\"email___40ce001cf96e0316bf5243587d8cdc9c_0_3508792339\">Email (required) <span class=\"ctct-required-indicatior\" title=\"This is a required field\">*<\/span><\/label><\/span><input required aria-required=\"true\"  type=\"email\" id=\"email___40ce001cf96e0316bf5243587d8cdc9c_0_3508792339\" name=\"email___40ce001cf96e0316bf5243587d8cdc9c\"  value=\"\" class=\"ctct-email ctct-label-hidden email___40ce001cf96e0316bf5243587d8cdc9c\"  placeholder=\"Your email address\"   \/><\/p><div class='ctct-list-selector' style='display:none;'><div class=\"ctct-form-field ctct-form-field-checkbox ctct-form-field-required\"><fieldset><legend class=\"ctct-label-top\">Select list(s) to subscribe to<\/legend><\/fieldset><\/div><\/div><p class=\"ctct-form-field ctct-form-field-submit\"><input aria-required=\"false\"  type=\"submit\" id=\"ctct-submitted_0_3017771967\" name=\"ctct-submitted\"  value=\"JOIN\" class=\"ctct-submit ctct-label-top ctct-submitted\"     \/><\/p><div class=\"ctct_usage\" style=\"border: 0 none; clip: rect( 0, 0, 0, 0 ); height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; width: 1px;\"><label for=\"ctct_usage_field\">Constant Contact Use.
