He was born July 13, 1910, in Norfolk, Virginia, to the late Ovel Lee and Mary Eugenia Banks Gregory. His education included graduation from Maury High School and a degree in civil engineering from Virginia Military Institute. At VMI he lettered in two sports, varsity football and basketball. He attended Crozer Seminary, receiving his divinity degree and for a while he continued graduate studies in "Clinical Psychology" at the University of Pennsylvania. His pastorate at Temple Baptist church, Washington, DC, was going well when the Second World War interrupted everything for five years. While in service, he reached the rank of Lt. Colonel, was Chief of Chaplains of the Eighth Army Air Corps, and served on General Curtis Lemay's staff. He was awarded the Bronze Star and six battle stars. At the war's end, he resumed pasturing at Franklin Baptist Church in Franklin, Virginia. After serving four years, he was called to Wilmington First Baptist and remained there from 1950-1975. Following twenty- five years of dedicated ministry, he was named Pastor Emeritus. Under his leadership the Activities Center was planned by the church. Though at the time all of the church did not agree, for nearly thirty years his vision has survived and served the church in many wonderful ways. Active in civic organizations, he was president of the local American Red Cross chapter, active in the Lower Cape Fear Historical Society, president of Family Services, member of the YMCA board of Directors, and chairman of the Wilmington Housing Authority. For fifty years he was a member of the Carolina Yacht club and the Cape Fear Country Club. On a denominational level he served as a trustee of Crozer Seminary, Meredith College, Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina and Southern Baptist Sunday School Board. father, wife, A beloved husband and he is survived by his wonderful Hilda J. Gregory, who has served faithfully beside him for sixty-two years. They raised three talented and lovely daughters: Lynda Tennent and her husband Edward, Jr., Jeannie Williams and her husband Robert, and Susan Rogers and her husband Stanley. There are six grandchildren: Jennifer Gaskins and her husband Jonathan, Gregory Lynn Clodfelter and her husband Trey, Kelly Rogers, Edward Tennett, Robert Williams, Jr., and Gray Rogers; and two great-granddaughters, Sarah Elizabeth Gaskins, and Lynda "Laney" Clodfelter. He is also survived by his brother George P. Gregory and wife Dorothy. Memorial services were held on February 28, 2002 at Wilmington's First Baptist Church. Dr. Michael Queen, pastor and Reverend Jim Everette, officiated.

  • Benjamin Randall: Founder of the Free Will Baptists
    ABSTRACT The Awakening of the Freewill Baptists: Benjamin Randall and the Founding of an American Religious Tradition Scott E. Bryant, Ph.D. Chairperson: William H. Brackney, Ph.D. The last decades of the eighteenth century brought numerous changes to the citizens of colonial New England. As the colonists were joining together in their fight for independence from England, a collection of like-minded believers in Southern New Hampshire forged an identity as a new religious tradition. Benjamin Randall (1749- 1808), a principal founder of the Freewill Baptist movement in colonial New England, was one of the many eighteenth century colonists that enjoyed a conversion experience as a result of the revival ministry of George Whitefield. Randall’s conversion included a direct revelation from God that communicated God’s universal love and grace for all people. As a result of his conversion he began evaluating the spiritual condition of his fellow parishioners and he was disappointed that his peers did not share his newfound zeal for spiritual matters. His spiritual zeal prompted him to examine the scriptures on his own and he questioned the practice of infant baptism. Randall completed his separation from the Congregational church of his youth when he contacted a Baptist congregation and submitted himself for baptism. When Randall was introduced to the universal love and universal grace, was at odds with Calvin’s doctrine of election that was affirmed by the other Baptists. Randall’s spiritual journey continued as he began to preach revival services throughout the region. His ministry was well received and he established a new congregation in New Durham, New Hampshire, in 1780.
