- Description:
- In 1807, the year after dismissing their minister, Curtis Coe, the people of Durham refused to appropriate any public money for the ministry. New Hampshire's Toleration Act 12 years later ended all compulsory religious taxation in the state. Durham's decision did not represent a final divorce between church and state in Durham, where taxation for ministerial support returned in 1808, but does indicate the evolution of a new relationship between church and state.
