A. n.

1. Christian Church. Frequently in form New Light.

a. A person holding novel religious doctrines; a revivalist; spec. a member of any of several churches, denominations, etc., arising from schism within various Protestant churches in Scotland and North America during the 18th and 19th centuries; (also, chiefly in plural) any of the groups to which these members belonged. Now historical.In Scotland the terms New Lights and Old Lights were used initially to denote respectively the Moderate, more latitudinarian section and the Evangelical, more conservative section of the Church of Scotland; later, more commonly, they were used as popular names for the two groups which broke away from each other in the membership of each of the Secession Churches (see quot. 1959 for further historical details), the New Lights from each Church combining to form the United Secession Church in 1820, and the Old Lights to form the Synod of United Original Seceders in 1842, both being now reunited in the Church of Scotland. The differences between these various groups lay chiefly in the nature of adherence to Calvinist principles, the two Covenants (see covenant n. 9a), and the idea of a national Church.In North America, the term New Light was used to denote those Presbyterians who seceded from the Philadelphia synod in 1741, and later those who left the Presbyterian Church in about 1803 under the leadership of Barton W. Stone, John Marshall, and others and developed eventually into the Disciples of Christ (see disciple n. 3).
