The PCA Historical Center's own This Day in Presbyterian History series records that the Old Side and New Side Presbyterian synods, divided since the Synod of Philadelphia expelled revivalist Log College ministers as schismatics in 1741, signed a Plan of Union in Philadelphia in 1758, reuniting as the Synod of New York and Philadelphia and formally affirming the Great Awakening's revivals as a genuine work of the Holy Spirit, with Gilbert Tennent among the New Side ministers who had publicly regretted his earlier intemperance toward Old Side opponents.
