None Ought … Keep Fellowship with Devils

Join the congregation as Reverend Samuel Parris will lead a Puritan plain style morning service and preach the sermon that he delivered on March 27, 1692, soon after the outbreak of the witchcraft episode throughout Essex County. Donald Friary, a Salem resident and historian of religion and architecture in early America, will appear in costume and in character as Reverend Parris. Following the service, Friary will discuss the Puritan plain style in the service of worship, the sermon, meetinghouse architecture, and Puritan literature. The entire program will last between 1.5 and 2 hours.
