source

Wikipedia's dedicated article on First Parish Church in Brunswick, Maine, stating that on May 2, 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe had a vision while sitting in pew 23 of the church, of an enslaved man wounded from a beating, and that the incident inspired Uncle Tom's Cabin. States plainly that the church is today an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ.

Tier three, general reference encyclopedia entry, matching this database's established convention for Wikipedia citations. Cites two published sources of its own for the Stowe vision (Pullen's Joshua Chamberlain biography and Buchanan's American Women's Rights Movement chronology) and its United Church of Christ affiliation is independently confirmed by the congregation's own public Open and Affirming status.
