Today in OSC History: On August 10, 1668, 28 men formally requested dismissal from First Church in Boston. A minority of the congregation rejected the call of its new pastor, John Davenport, who opposed the Halfway Covenant of 1662 regarding church membership. These men made several requests that were either ignored or denied. Nonetheless the dissenters formed Third Church, aka Old South Church, the following year.
