In 1891, a number of ministers in the "Old Light" Reformed Presbyterian Church OF North America had become convinced that the denomination's stand on church-state relations was not Biblical. They made a stand against that decision and drew up a declaration known as the "East End Declaration", named for their meeting at the East End RP Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The denomination as a whole could not see that the proposed changes were Biblical, so these men were eventually tried for heresy in the Synod, the highest court of the church. This book is, as it says, a stenographic transcript of the trial. After the men were found guilty, they left for several different denominations: the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), the United Presbyterian Church (UPCNA) and the "New Light" Reformed Presbyterian Church IN North America. The Reformed Presbyterian Church OF North America lost about 10% of its membership due to this "East End Split".
