The Oldest Baptist Church in America
Where did the Baptist faith first find footing in the New World? The choice lies between two locales, Newport, RI or Providence, RI. The First Baptist Church, Newport was said to be established in 1639 by Roger Williams. Did this church cease to exist after the departure of Roger Williams over the practice of "laying on of hands" until its reorganization in 1650? Should the Providence Church lose its position as the oldest Baptist Church because of William's secession from the Church's parent body? These are the questions that James E. Dean examined in depth in his dissertation for the Baptist Bible Institute in 1921. It is an interesting look into the quest of two churches for the honor of being considered the first Baptist Church in America.
Baptists in Early North America
For the first time in more than three and a half centuries, the carefully preserved records of the First Baptist Church of Boston, Massachusetts, have been transcribed and are now published. They reveal the extraordinary faith of the original founders, the suffering they endured, and the commitment of the nine original members and their successors to persevere through the storm and finally to be recognized as one of the leading churches in Boston and ultimately the nation. The records span the time from the founding in 1665 until the death of Samuel Stillman in 1807. They reflect the extraordinary times in which the church grew and flourished, including a vivid description of the day in March, 1679, when the little congregation discovered that the Puritan authorities had sent a marshal to nail shut the doors of their place of worship. With a historical introduction by editor Thomas R. McKibbens, the volume includes an appendix with "A Brief Narrative" by First Baptist pastor John Russell, a pamphlet first published in London in 1680.
