[edit] What were the "new measures"?
The article states, 'Beecher stoked controversy by advocating "new measures" of evangelism that ran counter to traditional Calvinism understanding. These new measures were an outworking of the practice of evangelist Charles Finney,...'
One can look up Finney in the link provided (at his name, in the article), and find out what Finney's practices were, but that still doesn't make clear what "outworking" thereof Beecher was advocating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.28.164.208 (talk) 21:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Notes
So, what was Lyman teaching, it really only puts his stance on the religions already established...wasn't he kinda preaching is own new thinkings?
This doesn't really make sense. It says he was an abolitionist at the top, but later it says that he view abolitionism as "radical" and refused to teach african americans.

There is no information on Beecher's 6 very famous speeches about the evils of intemperance. TarTar Sauce 18:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
