Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baptist history in Delaware has a character and value all its own. It is unique. It is not distinguished simply by the place of its enactment, a corner cut off from a uniform piece of cloth. Its lessons are its own, and it teaches them in its own way. One lesson, especially, of utmost import it makes solemnly and sadly prominent. Perhaps nowhere else in this country has Antinomianism, with its natural, if not inseparable, attendants of anti-missionism, anti-Sunday-school-ism, and all the other kindred anti-isms, so impressively by its fruits proved its origin, nature, and doom. In doing this it has also proved with like certainty its antagonism to the genuine Baptist faith and practice. - Introduction.

Excerpt: ... an Association was formed among the Baptists of Delaware, but at what date he is unable to say. It seems from the following, published in 1830, that the date of organization was 1795: "The Constitution of the Delaware Baptist Association, ratified and confirmed by the delegates of the Welsh Tract, Cow Marsh, Duck Creek, Queen Anne's, Wilmington, and Mispillion churches, the 24th day of October, A. D. 1795." This document is signed by the Pastors of the churches at that time, and by one delegate from each church. Other proof is not wanting. Five of these churches were in Delaware, and one probably in Maryland. Several churches in Pennsylvania soon joined the Association, those of them connected with the Philadelphia Association withdrawing for the purpose. According to the Minutes of the Philadelphia Association, of 1794, the Cow Marsh, Welsh Tract, Duck Creek, and Wilmington churches requested "approbation and dismission" from the Association "to join another." It was voted that as the relation had been a long and happy one, they would be glad to have it continue; but if they wished to withdraw, consent was granted. They withdrew, and formed the Delaware Association, as we have seen. One, the Mispillion, came from the Salisbury Association. It seems, then, that union between Delaware and Pennsylvania churches in a Delaware Association is no new thing. Benedict says that the Delaware Association was a corresponding body of the Philadelphia Association as early as 1798, but the Philadelphia Association sent both letter and messenger to them in 1796, which was the first meeting held after the organization. At the same meeting of the Philadelphia Association, Dr. Rogers and Rev. T. Ustick were appointed to...

Download or read book The Early and Later Delaware Baptists written by Richard Briscoe Cook and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The once blazing light of the early Delaware Baptist churches has long ago faded. Scattered remnants may remain, but their zeal and effect upon this world have been quenched. Most of the later Delaware Baptist churches depicted in this book have suffered the same fate. While Antinomianism (anti-missionary, anti-Sunday school, anti-tract, anti-evangelism, anti-church planting, etc.) extinguished the light of the past, liberalism has dimmed the present. For those whose lights are still shining in Delaware and are remaining true to the doctrine, practice, and spirit of the genuine Baptist faith, we thank God. It is our prayer that the Lord would use this reprint to inspire us with the lives of the great Delaware Baptists of the past and keep us faithful to the Savior's command to "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - 2010 introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In attempting to write a history of the Baptists no one is more aware of the embarrassments surrounding the subject than the author. These embarrassments arise from many sources. We are far removed from many of the circumstances under survey; the representations of the Baptists were often made by enemies who did not scruple, when such a course suited their purpose, to blacken character; and hence the testimony from such sources must be received with discrimination and much allowance made for many statements; in some instances vigilant and sustained attempts were made to destroy every document relating to these people; the material that remains is scattered through many libraries and archives, in many lands and not always readily accessible; often, on account of persecutions, the Baptists were far more interested in hiding than they were in giving an account of themselves or their whereabouts; they were scattered through many countries, in city and cave, as they could find a place of concealment; and frequently they were called by different names by their enemies, which is confusing. Yet it is a right royal history they have. It is well worth the telling and the preserving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assortment of political views held by Baptists was as diverse as any other denomination in the early United States, but they were bound together by a fundamental belief in the inviolability of the individual conscience in matters of faith. In a nation where civil government and religion were inextricable, and in states where citizens were still born into the local parish church, the doctrine of believer’s baptism was an inescapably political idea. As a result, historians have long acknowledged that Baptists in the early republic were driven by their pursuit of religious liberty, even partnering with those who did not share their beliefs. However, what has not been as well documented is the complexity and conflict with which Baptists carried out their Jeffersonian project. Just as they disagreed on seemingly everything else, Baptists did not always define religious liberty in quite the same way. Let Men Be Free offers the first comprehensive look into Baptist politics in the early United States, examining how different groups and different generations attempted to separate church from state and how this determined the future of the denomination and indeed the nation itself.
