Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uplifting the People is a history of the Alabama Missionary Baptist State Convention—its origins, churches, associations, conventions, and leaders. Fallin demonstrates that a distinctive Afro-Baptist faith emerged as slaves in Alabama combined the African religious emphasis on spirit possession, soul-travel, and rebirth with the evangelical faith of Baptists. The denomination emphasizes a conversion experience that brings salvation, spiritual freedom, love, joy, and patience, and also stresses liberation from slavery and oppression and highlights the exodus experience. In examining the social and theological development of the Afro-Baptist faith over the course of three centuries, Uplifting the People demonstrates how black Baptists in Alabama used faith to cope with hostility and repression. Fallin reveals that black Baptist churches were far more than places of worship. They functioned as self-help institutions within black communities and served as gathering places for social clubs, benevolent organizations, and political meetings. Church leaders did more than conduct services; they protested segregation and disfranchisement, founded and operated schools, and provided community leaders for the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century. Through black churches, members built banking systems, insurance companies, and welfare structures. Since the gains of the civil rights era, black Baptists have worked to maintain the accomplishments of that struggle, church leaders continue to speak for social justice and the rights of the poor, and churches now house day care and Head Start programs. Uplifting the People also explores the role of women, the relations between black and white Baptists, and class formation within the black church.

Note.--There are 31, or 32 Associations in Alabama; several of them, however, are only so partially. If we calculate in a proportional manner, the number baptized last year, in the Associations, whose minutes we have received aince 1838, with those of 1839, we shall have more than 4000 baptized in the last associations! year. And from the many revivals, with which the churches in different parts of the state, have been visited, in the last four or five months, we are satisfied, that we may safely calculate the whole number of Baptists in Alabama, to be 26,000. The New Test party, or as they ignorantly, and arrogantly style themselves, Old School Baptists, are more or less scattered through the most of the Associations in the state; but a number of them are inquiring for truth, and will, no doubt, attain it. At the same time, there are many effort, or missionary brethren, in most, if not in all of their Associations, of which they have nine or ten. We have made as accurate a calculation of their numbers, as we could under existing circumstances, and we estimate their churches at 150, ministers 65, and total number of members 6250. One more remark is necessary. It will be seen by the statistical table, that the Baptist ministers are few when compared with the number of churches; but it should be recollected that a number of Associations never put the names of ministers on their minutes, unless they are delegates; and it is often the case that ministers are not delegated. We shall not probably exceed the real number, if we estimate it at 300, including licentiates. CHAPTER XXXIV. AN ADDRESS TO THE BAPTIST CHURCHES IK ALABAMA.
