Excerpt: ... ry thing therein contained, nor do we mean to make it, in any refpeft, fuperiour or equal to the fcriptures, in matters of faith and practice; although we think it the beft human oompofition of the kind now extant; yet it mall be liable to alterations, whenever the General Committee, in behalf of the aflt: iations, mall think fit."

Containing a History of the General Committee, from their first session, until tfieir dissolution in 1799. Circumstanced as the Baptifts were at this period, it would have been the height of folly, to have diflblved the general aflbciation, without fubftituting fome other aflembly, capable of confulting and deviling meafures, for the benefit of the whole connexion. In moft refpe&s a meeting compofed of reprefentatives from the different aflbciations, was preferable to the general aflbciation. Being a fmall number, they could act more promptly; they would have fewer local matters, and could therefore devote their attention more intently to thofe of general concern; and laftly, there being three other aflbciations now in the ftate, befides the one called the General Aflbciation; thefe could unite in a General Committee, and contribute their aid, in meafures interefting to all.

Download or read book Christianity in Appalachia written by Bill J. Leonard and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion has long been a source of identity for many Southerners, and the Appalachian areas in particular have proven to be a virtual fortress protecting faith and culture. Yet, in a region popularly thought to be religiously homogeneous, congregations reflect a wide range of doctrinal differences over such issues as conversion, ministerial leadership, and the authority on which a church bases its core beliefs. Profiling the prominent Christian traditions in southern Appalachia, this book brings together contributions by twenty scholars who have long studied the religious practices found in the region's cities, small towns, and rural communities. These authors provide insights into not only the independent mountain churches that are strongly linked to local customs but also the mainline and other religious bodies that have a significant presence in Appalachia but are not strictly associated with it. The essays explore the nature of ministry within these various churches, show the impact of broader culture on religion in the region, and consider the question of whether previously isolated, tradition-based churches can retain their distinctiveness in a changing world. One group of chapters focuses on elements of mountain religion as seen in the beliefs and practices of mountain Holiness folk, serpent handlers, and various Baptist traditions. Later chapters review the history and activities of other denominations, including Southern Baptist, Presbyterian, Wesleyan/Holiness, Church of God, and Roman Catholic. Also considered are the economic history of the region, popular religiosity, and the role of church-affiliated colleges. Taken together, these essays offer a richly nuanced understanding of Christianity in Appalachia. The Editor: Bill J. Leonard is dean of the Divinity School at Wake Forest University. His other books include Out of One, Many: American Religion and American Pluralism and God's Last and Only Hope: The Fragmentation of the Southern Baptist Convention.
