"The Catechism presents to us a religion in which all of its doctrines culminate in attributing nothing to man and everything to God. Consequently, it causes man completely to look away from the creature to that he seeks and finds his comfort, peace, and salvation exclusively in the triune God" "The Christian's only comfort in life and death" Theodorus Vandergroe (1705-84).An exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism(p2)

"But, sir, this prejudice goes farther. It debars men from heaven. While, sir, this slavery cuts off the colored portion of the community from religious privileges, men are made infidels. What, they demand, is your Christianity? How do you regard your brethren? How do you treat them at the Lord’s table? Where is your consistency in talking about the heathen; traversing the ocean to circulate the Bible everywhere, while you frown upon them at your door? These things meet us, and weigh down our spirits."- Theodore S. Wright,1797-1847. Attended Princeton Theological Seminary. Pastored First Colored Presbyterian Church of New York.
