The Savoy Declaration
The Congregational churches of England
Read elsewhere
What it is
Westminster doctrine with a congregational polity — each gathered church complete in itself, with no authority above it but Christ.
Why it lasted
The founding confession of Congregationalism, drafted largely by John Owen weeks before Cromwell died.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
