Subscription: £4.00 per annum (or equivalent) Due January 2 Among Soviet Baptists Outside the United States and India, the Baptists of the Soviet Union represent the largest single community in the worldwide Baptist fellowship, with some 600,000 adult baptised believers and a total following of at least an estimated two million. They form the largest non-Orthodox Christian grouping in the Soviet Union and the most significant and widespread expression of Protestant Christianity in that vast country. A distinctive characteristic of the Baptists in Soviet religious life is that they are found all over the Soviet Union- throughout European Russia, in the ancient lands of Armenia and Georgia, right across the Ukraine, in the Baltic republics, in the rapidly-developing Siberian territories, in the central Asian lands such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan where most people belong to various Asiatic races, and in the Soviet Far East. "From Archangel to Tbilisi, from Moscow to Vladivostok, we have Baptist churches!", a superintendent once told me proudly. The title 'All-Union' Baptist is very apt. lthas been my privilege to have made six major journeys among Soviet Baptists over the past fourteen years, on ecumenical study visits, for Christian peace events, and on preaching missions: with reference to the latter, at the invitation of the All-Union Baptists I undertook major preaching tours in 1978 (covering Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev and Novgorod for preaching engagements, with also visits to Orthodox centres at Vladimir and Suzdal) and in 1982 (Moscow, Volgograd, Tashkent and Samarkand).

    BAPTISTS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: A STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN "SECTARIANISM" by JOHN BYRON RICHARDS BiA., University of British Columbia, 1952 B.D., Northwest Baptist Theological College, 1961 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1964 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. 1 further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted fay the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of History The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 8, Canada. April 8, 1964. ABSTRACT It is generally agreed that Baptists represent one of the largest bodies of "sectarian" opinion. The term "sectarianism" is used in a sociological rather than a polemical or derogatory sense. It serves to indicate the basic attitude of a socially exclusive or "sect-type" religious organization as differentiated from a "church-type", or socially inclusive and accommodative, religious body. Until recently it has been an accepted procedure to explain religious diversity in purely theological terms. Since the turn of the century an effort has been made to examine the social and economic factors in religious development. The "frontier thesis" has been evoked to ex• plain sectarianism, and sociologists have tended to place all their con• clusions within the framework of environmental determinism.

  • History of the North Carolina Baptists
    STATE HISTORIES HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA BAPTISTS by George Washington Paschal. Volume 2 HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA BAPTISTS GEORGE WASHINGTON PASCHAL VOLUME 2 PREFACE In 1926, the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina authorized the preparation and publication in as many volumes as necessary of a comprehensive history of North Carolina Baptists. In 1930 was published History of North Carolina Baptists, Volume I, 1633-1805. In that volume are prefatory statements intended to apply to the entire work, to which readers are referred and which are not repeated here. This volume is designed as a proper continuation of Volume I, which, as indicated, roughly brought the history of the Baptists of North Carolina down to about 1805, but which was related chiefly to the eastern half of the state. In the present volume, the chief concern is the development of Baptists in the western part of North Carolina where the settlements and development, civil and religious, were a half-century later than in the east. In this western portion religious history, and specifically Baptist history, was influenced by economic and political development, social customs, and the national heritages of the peoples, just as was religious history in the east. But it was slower. Perhaps nowhere do we have a better demonstration of the difference in religious and moral growth of the populations east and west than in the circular letters which were prepared for the associations. For that reason, and because they are a valuable repository of Baptist doctrines, some portion of this volume has been devoted to them and their history, which begins with the first Baptist association in America, the Philadelphia.
