Great Awakening
The Great Awakening was when religion was sweeping throughout New
England with more conversions and church membership. This spiritual awakening took place from 1735 up until 1745. (Brief Outline Notes on the
Great Awakening, 1735-45 ) Most of this had taken place within the American
Colonies, especially New England.(McCormick, pars. 9) . The Great Awakening had many causes, however the consequences benefitted many. Many people were moving farther and farther away from religion, the
Great Awakening was a revitalization that had tried to change that. There was a huge decline in church membership and the church wanted people to get back to god. As well as the Enlightenment, this was a time period where many people were using reason to receive their answers. Instead of relying on the church for answers they used science and math (Brief Outline Notes on the Great
Awakening, 1735-45 ).In 1688, the Church of English became the primary religion of the country. Many other religions were infact repressed. Basically, people were becoming bored of the religion and it just became a past time for them. They didn`t worship god from their heart. This led to the decline of attendance in church, memberships were decreasing as the years passed by (Great Awakening). To create change in such phenomenons, many minsters such as Thomas Foxcroft gave sermons outside. People were actually eager to see him, he was infact received by the chuches of Galatia. He presented something that didn`t drone on and bore the people. He noticed that people didn`t really know much about Christ, so he decided to pass it on. Another minister named Jonathan
Edwards, gave such passionate sermons that it brought many peoples attention (Great Awakening).George Whitefield, a histronic man with a very loud voice.
