Samuel James Andrews was was a Congregational clergyman from 1848 to 1855. In 1856 he became pastor of the Catholic and Apostolic Church (Irvingite) at Hartford, Connecticut.
Background
Samuel James Andrews was born on July 31, 1817 in Danbury, Connecticut, United States. He was brought up in an atmosphere of piety. His father, William, was one of the earliest graduates of Middlebury College, Vermont, and an influential Congregational minister in various churches in that state. By his wife, Sarah Parkhill, of Massachusetts, he had six sons, of whom five became distinguished clergymen.
Education
Andrews studied law and graduated from Williams College in 1839.
He also studied in Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, and was licensed to preach in 1846.
Career
In 1839 he was admitted to the bar in Connecticut, Ohio, and New York, and opened an office in New York City. After a year of practise he turned to the ministry, taking a year or more of study in Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, and was licensed to preach in 1846. He supplied the Congregational Church in Terryville, Connecticut, for a year and in 1848 was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in East Windsor, Connecticut, where he served seven years without special incident.
His resignation was the result of his accepting the doctrine and beliefs of the Catholic Apostolic Church, an organization which had grown out of the "speaking with tongues" and other spiritual manifestations in Edward Irving's church in London 1830-1832, and which looked forward to the second coming of Christ in the immediate future. Andrews was probably influenced by the similar step taken by his eldest brother, William Watson Andrews, in the previous year.
He continued to support this religious body with tongue and pen until the end of his life. For more than thirty years he was an angel (i. e. pastor) of a parish in Hartford, Connecticut He was also at various times an instructor in philosophy in Trinity College, Hartford. His published works include The Life of Our Lord Upon the Earth (1862); William Watson Andrews: A Religious Biography (1900); Christianity and Anti-Christianity in Their Final Conflict (1898); God's Revelation of Himself; Man and the Incarnation (1905); The Church and its Organic Ministries, an open letter to the Right Rev. John Williams, P. E. Bishop of Connecticut.
