A John Samuel Thompson was a Universalist minister in Massachusetts -- Hosea Ballou preached his ordination -- but the dates would be too late. Wow — what an interesting question.

I am preparing a sermon for our 4th of July service. I came across a reference to Samuel Thompson in a recent book by T.H. Breen, American Insurgents, American Patriots. Per Breen, Thompson was a Universalist and his teachings influenced the insurgency, giving authority to individuals rather than institutions. I cannot find anything on Thompson. I found Tony and Roger in the GA exhibit hall and was discussing this. They said you'd be the man for this. I must admit they delighted in the possibility of my inquiry to you! So I ask, do you know anything about this early American Universalist minister, Samuel Thompson? Breen's notes cite Jack P Greene, Imperatives, Behaviors and Identies, Essays in Early American Cultural History and James Leamon Revolution Downeast. Thanks! Ginny McAninch Hi Scott,

Here is a challenge from Roger Butts and Tony Lorenson

I am a lay leader at First Universalist in Mpls MN. I am preparing a sermon for our 4th of July service. I came across a reference to Samuel Thompson in a recent book by T.H.

So I ask, do you know anything about this early American Universalist minister, Samuel Thompson? Breen’s notes cite Jack P Greene, Imperatives, Behaviors and Identies, Essays in Early American Cultural History and James Leamon Revolution Downeast.

Thanks!
