Excerpt from Minutes of the Western Congregational Convention: Held in Michigan City, Indiana, July 30 August 3, 1846 With an Introductory Note by One of the Secretaries and an Appendix A recess was presently taken, most of which was spent in conver sation upon this subject. We were agreed in the opinion that the Congregationalists of the West, ought to meet and confer together fully on all matters affecting their increase and prosperity as churches. Two or three other ministers who were consulted, concurred is this view, - and before the conversation closed, the writer suggested that the General Association of Michigan would be the proper body to call the proposed Convention, and he engaged to submit the matter for their action at the next meeting. Accordingly at the meeting of the Association held in Detroit, on the 3oth of September, 1845, the subject was fully laid before the body, and resulted in their unanimous adoption of a resolution ap proving the proposal, and in the appointment of a committee with instructions to determine the time and place, and to issue a call for a Congregational Convention, to be held the ensuing summer.
