Critique of Congregational Board Resolutions 1870

He questions oversight, the area of authority, and the need for a credible tribunal, urging preservation of independent church freedom and cautious reform.
Controversy over Local Congregational Conferences in Minister Settlements
Vigilans laments a system where local Congregational Churches and ministers judge new ministers. He argues trusted candidates face an unappealable tribunal of nearby pastors and churches. An alternative is refusal to appear, risking loss of liberty and implying a retreat from freedom of creeds, standards, and honest church settlement.

He traces church corruption from Constantine to the Reformation and critiques attempts to align church with state, urging return to apostolic, independent congregations and biblical pastors.
