Abstract:

New York Preparative Meeting was established in 1753 by Flushing Monthly Meeting. After the Separation of 1828, the two surviving Orthodox preparative meetings, Northern and Southern Districts, merged in 1828 to form the Preparative Meeting of New York (Orthodox). In 1902 the name was changed to New York Congregational Meeting (also known as 20th Street Congregation); it merged with the Hicksites at 15th Street in 1958.
