Half-way covenant.
In 1657 a council was held in Boston, and in 1662 a synod of all the clergy in Massachusetts was convened to reconsider the decision of the council that all Baptist persons of upright and decorous lives ought to be considered for practical purposes as members of the Church, and therefore entitled to the exercise of political rights, even though unqualified for participation in the Lord's Supper.
In 1669 the advocates of the Half-way covenant seceded from the old Church, forming a new society, and built a meeting-house, which was succeeded in 1729 by the present Old South Church.

Old South Church,
Boston. The opposition to the requirement of church-membership for the exercise of political rights (see half-way covenant) led to the establishment, in 1669, of the Third Church in Boston, known as The old South since 1717, of which Mr. Fiske says: It is a building with a grander history than any other on the American continent, unless it be that other plain brick building in Philadelphia where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and the federal Constitution framed.
