	Sandemanians
		On the death of an elder the survivors propose for election the name of a suitable member of the congregation, who is then elected by the whole body.
		The Sandemanians practice a weekly celebration of the Lord's supper, and the agape or love-feast, which takes the form of dining together between the morning and afternoon services.
		The Sandemanians as a religious body are very obscure and it is difficult to obtain reliable information with regard to them, but the total membership in Great Britain is believed not to exceed two thousand.

	The Sandemanians
		The roots of Sandemanianism lie in the 1720s when John Glas (1695-1773), minister of the Church of Scotland work in Tealing, Scotland, and a man of considerable erudition, gradually came to the conviction that Christ's kingdom is one that is completely spiritual and, as such, independent of both state control and support.
		For instance, Christmas Evans (1766-1838), an influential Welsh Baptist leader, adopted Sandemanian views for a number of years in the late 1790s, but eventually found himself dwelling in 'the cold and sterile regions of spiritual frost', and in the grip of 'a cold heart towards Christ, and his sacrifice, and the work of his Spirit'.
		Faraday's family were Sandemanians or Glasites, a dissenting Christian sect who believed that the truth of the Bible was to be recovered by as literal a reading as possible.

	The religion of Michael Faraday, physicist
		Faraday's parents were members of the obscure religious denomination of the Sandemanians, and Faraday himself, shortly after his marriage, at the age of thirty, joined the same sect, to which he adhered till his death.
		Faraday was a devoutly Christian member of the Sandemanians, which significantly influenced upon him and strongly affected the way in which he approached and interpreted nature.
		Sandemanians, an offshoot of the Scottish Presbyterian Church, believed in practicing primitive Christianity (that is, Christianity as the apostles practiced it).

	An Uneasy Affair -- Chapter 1
		The founders of the Sandemanian system conceiving that they had detected errors in the prevalent opinion, at once defined faith to be a 'mere belief of the truth,' and pronounced all who supposed it to include any approbation of heart, enemies to the grace of the Gospel.
		The Sandemanians set various rules for Church government to which no member could deviate, and it was the key feature of their religious doctrine that all members of the Church were to be unanimous in both policy and doctrine.
		The Sandemanians disapproved of private wealth, holding that private property should always be subject to the needs and purposes, and always at the call, of the Church.

	William Heth Whitsitt's Sidney Rigdon MS, Part 3)
		A portion of the Sandemanian fraternity were so strict in their literalism, that, because there is no direct injunction commanding the observance of family prayer, and because there is a Divine command to enter into the closet and pray in secret, they would inveigh against this practice as savoring of a tendency to proselytism.
		The Sandemanians of the aspersion observance, under the lead of Sandeman and Glas, were in the custom of expressing their disgust against this unwelcome conduct on the part of a portion of their adherents, by denouncing the same as Anabaptists.
		Sandemanian principles were already too deeply established in the minds of his people, to admit of their successful eviction by that or by any other method.

		THE SANDEMANIANS were a small Protestant fundamentalist sect founded in Scotland around 1730 by Presbyterian minister John Glas and continued by his son-in-law Robert Sandeman.
		In the spirit of primitive Christianity, the Sandemanian churches appointed their elders - there were, of course, no ministers - according to the precepts of St. Paul, with no regard to education, occupation or social status.
		Sandemanianism provided Michael Faraday - perhaps the greatest experimental scientist of the 19th century - with spiritual sustenance throughout his life and it was unquestionably the single most important influence on his life and scientific work.

		While, for Sandemanians, Christ's domain was distinct from that of the material world nevertheless His imprint could be found in physical law.
		Sandemanians sought to preserve their faith from what they saw as the contamination that can arise when one relies on external authority or becomes too preoccupied by one's own subjective experiences and desires.

		Sandemanian "exhortations" consisted of carefully chosen Biblical passages strung together with a minimum of connecting material, just as Faraday's scientific papers consisted of carefully chosen descriptions of experimental facts strung together with a minimum of speculative interpretation.

	"Andrew Fuller and the Sandemanians" by Michael Haykin
		Fuller came into contact with Sandemanianism when he travelled throughout Scotland in the 1790s and 1800s seeking to raise financial support for the Baptist Missionary Society and their mission at Serampore, India.
		Prevalent in many Evangelical circles is a notion of conversion and faith that is all too similar to Sandemanianism, in that it excludes emotion and the exercise of the affections.
		There is a second lesson that the Sandemanian controversy teaches with regard to the affections of the heart, and that is their vital importance in the ongoing life of the church.

		Sandemanianism sprang from extremely high Calvinism and was at odds with the established Church on several points they claimed to be unbiblical.
		Its adherents are not so much bothered by the heart-felt experience of the revival converts, which disturbed the Sandemanians, as they are with the identification of repentance with faith.

	Science & Religion \|\| Michael Faraday
		The Sandemanians believed in both moral law and physical law, and it was the latter belief that made Faraday's science thematically religious.
		Faraday was unusual for his time in conceiving electricity and magnetism more in terms of fields of force than in terms of distinct particles with forces acting at a distance.
		The Sandemanians were relatively private in many respects, but they occasionally opened their meeting house services on Sunday to "enlighten" the public.

	Triablogue: Two Questions for Sandemanians
		Question 1: In Sandemanianism, is it theologically possible (not is it probable, or is it likely, or has it ever happened, but is it theologically possible) for someone to be saved and yet never produce a single good deed in response to this salvation?
		If professing Christians are unable to distinguish between biblical Christianity (which repeatedly emphasizes the necessity of works as a result/vindication of true justification) and the "Free Grace" Sandemanian heresy (which denies the necessity of works even as a result of justification), the church is in a sad state indeed.
		Sandemanian theology is often the Romanist caricature of Protestant Christianity that I find myself responding to in polemical situations.

	Creation Research and its Implications for Science
		Discipline was a key term for the Sandemanians, who accepted the Bible not only as the basis for all action but also as the rule-book for church organization.
		Faraday's religion affected his science, notably in his conviction that nature was orderly and "economical" and that divinely ordained natural powers were indestructible, and in his caution about the speculative interpretation of experimental facts_a caution that parallelled the Sandemanians' adherence to the literal word of the Bible, without interpretation.
		Indeed, Sandemanian "exhortations" consisted of (carefully chosen) Biblical passages strung together with a minimum of connecting material, just as Faraday's scientific papers ideally consisted of (carefully chosen) descriptions of experimental facts strung together with a minimum of speculative interpretation.

		Faraday did not mean personal bias that could be removed by adherence to scientific method.
		Many scientists are capable of this "creative uncertainty," but Faraday was unusual in his ability to suspend judgement, even when this upset his "favourite notions." His enjoyment of theoretical speculation was tempered by his awareness of human aspirations to comprehend the world through intellectual order.
		Although his Sandemanian Christianity made Faraday distrust mathematical interpretations of nature, it encouraged him to pursue the path of observation and experiment and to base his theories on qualitative imagery.

	Science in Christian Perspective
		For the Sandemanians, the Bible was the primary guide to faith and needed no supplemental proofs of its validity.
		Paley's natural theology was from the standpoint of evangelical (including Sandemanian) theology, valueless as a guide to divine characteristics, unless subjected to rectification by biblical revelation; it would have seemed presumptuous and even arrogant, when applied on its own....
		In general, the Sandemanians tended to keep their religion within the assembly of other believers, and this is evident in the life of Faraday as well.
