Download or read book Baptists in Early North America The Historical Works of Morgan Edwards written by Evan L Colford and published by . This book was released on 2025-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morgan Edwards was a pastor, scholar, and a builder of institutions (Rhode Island College, later Brown University). In the area of Baptist history, Edwards sought to gather historical materials toward a history of the Baptists in the American colonies to acquaint Baptists with one another and forge a national denomination. Volume XII contains a historical introduction followed by transcriptions of the historical materials that Edwards left to posterity. There are historical materials for nine states, two of which were published in his lifetime (Pennsylvania [1771] and New Jersey [1792]). Six historical notebooks remain and are presented as appendices. Where possible, previously published editions of these works are presented with transcriptions of the originals as they appear in manuscript form. Of particular interest are the notes added by series editor William H. Brackney shortly before his death, which link the previous volumes in the Baptists in Early North America series together.

Book excerpt: Minutes from the First Baptist Church in Philadelphia show the congregation was from the beginning the mother church for Baptists in the American colonies and early republic. Baptist members of the Pennepack Church had begun meeting in the center city in 1688. They hosted the organizing meeting of the Philadelphia Baptist Association in 1707 and organized formally in 1746. This volume includes minutes from 1757 through 1806, when William Staughton became pastor. Earlier the Philadelphia Baptists and their pastor, Morgan Edwards, had led the campaign to fund the Rhode Island College (Brown University), an institution Baptists hoped would increase their supply of educated clergy. African Americans and women appear in the minutes, the women as benefactors and petitioners for voting rights and as candidates for baptism. African Americans, like other members, applied for membership by relating a work of grace in their life or by bringing a letter from another congregation, most in Maryland and Virginia. The minutes show constant care for the Baptist burial ground and pew rentals, the examination of candidates for baptism, and struggles to pay the pastor. The minutes also detail how the church disciplined members, including their former pastor, Morgan Edwards, and how they assisted poor members and congregations as distant as First African in Savannah, Georgia. Struggling through the years of war with the British, theological controversy and conflict with a universalist pastor, and repeated yellow fever epidemics, the congregation in 1806 remained the most influential church among American Baptists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baptists in Early North America--First Baptist, Providence, is the second volume to appear in the BENA Series. Designed as a unique contribution to religious and Baptist scholarship, BENA recovers never-before-published original records and manuscripts for students, scholars, and genealogists. Also known as the First Baptist Church in America, it was founded in 1638 by Roger Williams and a group of religious outcasts from Massachusetts Bay Colony. The dozen original manuscript record books are carefully reproduced with annotations and an historical introduction. Also included are eighteenth-century pew rental lists and membership rosters for the congregation that evolved from Calvinistic roots, to General Six Principle, to Regular Baptist identity. This congregation was closely related to Brown University and included numerous pastoral luminaries--such as Confederation congressman, James Manning--in the bustling seaport of Providence, Rhode Island.
Download or read book The Baptists in Upper and Lower Canada before 1820 written by Stuart Ivison and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1956-12-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the pioneer folk of Upper and Lower Canada—Loyalists, "late" Loyalists, and the hordes of land-seekers—living in what seemed like religious destitution, various American Baptist missionary associations in Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York State sent missionary preachers in the decade after 1800. Numerous small churches were established, but the War of 1812 disturbed these efforts, and much of the missionary activity itself had to be abandoned for an interval. This may well have stimulated the co-operation which had already appeared before the war between Canadian Baptist communities. Out of this co-operation were to develop conferences and associations of Canadian Baptist churches, until by 1820 all were members of Canadian groups. By 1818 travelling missionaries from the United States had almost ceased to visit; the Canadian churches had begun to raise up ministers from among their own members. In this very complete investigation of early Baptist history in Canada, assembled from a wide variety of sources, every separate group has been recorded and its development traced, and all available information has been coordinated for the missionaries and ministers who served the groups. The book is a veritable encyclopaedia of early Baptist history and will be invaluable to future students of Baptist history in general. This study of a developing cultural tradition strikingly parallels the struggle to master the physical features of a new land.
Download or read book Bodies of Belief written by Janet Moore Lindman and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Baptist church originated in British North America as "little tabernacles in the wilderness," isolated seventeenth-century congregations that had grown into a mainstream denomination by the early nineteenth century. The common view of this transition casts these evangelicals as radicals who were on society's fringe during the colonial period, only to become conservative by the nineteenth century after they had achieved social acceptance. In Bodies of Belief, Janet Moore Lindman challenges this accepted, if oversimplified, characterization of early American Baptists by arguing that they struggled with issues of equity and power within the church during the colonial period, and that evangelical religion was both radical and conservative from its beginning. Bodies of Belief traces the paradoxical evolution of the Baptist religion, including the struggles of early settlement and church building, the varieties of theology and worship, and the multivalent meaning of conversation, ritual, and godly community. Lindman demonstrates how the body—both individual bodies and the collective body of believers—was central to the Baptist definition and maintenance of faith. The Baptist religion galvanized believers through a visceral transformation of religious conversion, which was then maintained through ritual. Yet the Baptist body was differentiated by race and gender. Although all believers were spiritual equals, white men remained at the top of a rigid church hierarchy. Drawing on church books, associational records, diaries, letters, sermon notes, ministerial accounts, and early histories from the mid-Atlantic and the Chesapeake as well as New England, this innovative study of early American religion asserts that the Baptist religion was predicated simultaneously on a radical spiritual ethos and a conservative social outlook.
