Congregational churches -- Connecticut]]> Connecticut -- Church history]]> Litchfield County (Conn.) -- Church history ]]> Saybrook Platform was a new constitution for the Congregational church in Connecticut in 1708.  It rejected extreme localism or "congregationalism" that had been inherited from England, replacing it with a centralized system similar to what the Presbyterians had. The Congregational church was now to be led by local ministerial associations and consociations composed of ministers and lay leaders from a specific geographical area. A colony-wide General Assembly had final authority.
