     Halfway covenant, a practice among the Congregational
        churches of New England, between 1657 and 1662, of
        permitting baptized persons of moral life and orthodox
        faith to enjoy all the privileges of church membership,
        save the partaking of the Lord's Supper. They were also
        allowed to present their children for baptism.
