Sabbatarianism| Belief held by some Protestant Christians in the strict observance of the Sabbath, Sunday, following the fourth commandment of the Bible. It began in the 17th century. |
| Sabbatarianism has taken various forms, including an insistence on the Sabbath's lasting a full 24 hours; prohibiting sports and games and the buying and selling of goods on the Sabbath; and ignoring public holidays when they fall on a Sunday. |

No references found | Though middle-class interest in sabbatarianism was waning by the 1880s, The Sunday at Home continued to be published since RTS members wished to preserve Sunday as a day of rest and family time in which the father could be an active participant. Slowly a serious schism took place with Conservatives believing implicitly in infallibility and Sabbatarianism and the new thinking group, which took hold of this new concept and gradually infiltrated the majority of the professional chairs in the main colleges--Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. In particular, the Reformation brought with it not only a change in liturgy (Latin services were replaced with the Book of Common Prayer) but the creation of sabbatarianism with, as Baldwin explains, its distrust of music and advocacy of abstinence of all secular activities on Sunday, including music-making. |
