  • Methodism Among Nova Scotia's Yankee Planters
    Methodism Among Nova Scotia's Yankee Planters Allen B. Robertson Queen's University During the 1770s two revivalist evangelical sects gained a following in Nova Scotia; one, Newlight Congregationalism — with both Predestinar- ian and Free Will variants — grew out of the religious and social heritage of the colony's dominant populace, the New England Planters. The other sect, Wesleyan Methodism, took root among transplanted Yorkshiremen who moved between 1772 and 1776 to the Isthmus of Chignecto region where it was initially propagated among the faithful in local prayer groups. Ordained and lay preachers of both movements promoted a series of revivals in the province which drew an increasing number of followers into the evangelical fold.1 The first of these revivals was the Newlight- dominated Great Awakening of 1776-84. In general, Newlightism's greatest appeal was in the Planter townships even though it mutated by 1800 into a Baptist polity. Methodism, which had a fluctuating number of adherents among the visiting military forces at Halifax, had its stronghold in areas settled by British-born colonists, and increased in numbers with the successive waves of Loyalists coming to the province after 1783.2 Methodism was not confined, however, to segregated geographical areas of Nova Scotia. By the early nineteenth century, there were significant Methodist congregations composed primarily of Planters located throughout the Annapolis Valley and along the province's South Shore. Interesting questions are posed for historians when we consider why New Englanders and their descendants were attracted to what appeared to be essentially a foreign hierarchical religious-cultural movement which had broken from 1 Gordon Stewart and George Rawlyk, A People Highly Favoured of God: The Nova Scotia Yankees and the American Revolution (Toronto, 1972); J.M.

  • 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.

  • The Origin of Protestant Churches in Relation to Settlement, from the Founding of Halifax to the American Revolution
    SETTLEMENTS AND CHURCHES IN NOVA SCOTIA 1749 - 1776 The Origin of Protestant Churches in Relation to Settlement, from the founding of Halifax to the American Revolution. I » I PREFACE. The aim of this study is to give a comprehensive view of the origin and character of the Protestant churches in Nova Scotia before the American Revolution. This involves a detailed description of the earliest Protestant settlements; for a very close relationship existed between the two. There were no leaders in religious thought or even in missionary enterprise who stood out with sufficient prominence them­ selves to account for the beginnings of the separate communions. The churches grew out of settlements of varying character, the product of social, economic, and religious conditions prevalent in Europe and America. In each group of settlers there were persons who had been definitely attached to churches in their home­ land, and these persons became the neucleus of a congregation in the settlements they made in Nova Scotia. At least, they brought with them to their new homes a preference for the forms of worship to which they had been accustomed. Many came from America; and the field of American immigration and Church history must be explored in the effort to tell how certain denominations found a foot-hold in Nova Scotia in the earliest period of its settlement under British rule. The essay is in two parts. Part 0ne makes an exhaustive survey of all-"settlements in the province before the revolutionary war, and gives the national origin of the settlers and the causes that brought them to Nova Scotia.

  • The Acadia Story
    The Acadia Story "Training Baptist Ministers in the Maritimes-the story of the Acadia Divinity School" prepared by former President Andrew MacCrae read in his absence to the Baptist World Alliance Academic and Theological Work Group meeting on Thursday 5 July 2001 at the July 2001 General Council held at Charlottetown, PEI. The Canadian Baptist story, as we know it, really began in Nova Scotia, and the oldest continuing Baptist congregation in the country is in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, the home of Acadia University and Acadia Divinity College, its Graduate School of Theology. One other congregation, New Brunswick, was founded a little earlier, but went out of existence for many years, and was later re-formed, later than the formation of Wolfville Baptist. If this brief presentation is to have any of the features of a case study, I need to personalize it a little. I first visited the campus of Acadia University in 1971, when the BWA General Council met on the campus in a summer which even Texans and southern Californians described as 'hot' although our Caribbean and Africans found it very pleasant. Little did I know that nine years later I would, with great difficulty and not a little internal struggle, leave my life and work in Scotland and throughout Europe, and instead work to establish the first Chair of Evangelism and Mission in any Canadian Seminary, denominational or interdenominational at Acadia. For the last 21 years Acadia has been the very satisfying base from which I have operated, for five years as a faculty member, and then for 13 years as the College Principal and University's Dean of theology.

  • Origins of the Maritime Baptists: a New Document
    1. M. Bumsted ORIGINS OF THE MARITIME BAPTISTS: A NEW DOCUMENT THE EARLY HISTORY of the Baptist denomination in Maritime Canada has been shrouded in a good deal of mystery and uncertainty, chiefly for the period before the revivals of Henry Alline which began in 1776. The major difficulty is the absence of contemporary eye-witness evidence, so that historians are forced to place entirely too much reliance on second-hand information, partic­ ularly family tradition and reminiscences of early settlers collected much later than the events that they recal[.l Such memories may be roughly accurate, but not necessarily very precise. -, ./ I -·~~ Some contemporary evidence does exist for the early Baptist Church at Sackville (now in New Brunswick). The New England Baptist historian, Isaac Backus, for example, was personally acquainted with the Round brothers (Richard and Nathaniel), leaders of those Baptists from Rehoboth who settled Sackvi!le in 1763 and returned to Massachusetts in 1771, and his account of the Sackville Church is based on eye-witness information.~ No such evidence exists for the other early Baptist church in the Maritimes, which was organized at Horton by Ebenezer Moulton.3 After canvassing Nova Scotia in the early nineteenth century, the Baptist historian David Benedict wrote of this church that "no details of its early operations appear in any documents I have re­ ceived."4 Without citing sources, most historians have agreed (probably by copying from one another) that Moulton arrived in Horton in 1763, baptized some people,

  • Papers of the Canadian Society of Church History
    PAPERS OF THE CANADIAN SOCIETY OF CHURCH HISTORY 1981 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS As in previous years, the papers presented at the meeting of the Canadian Society of Church History in early June 1981 at Dalhousie University, Halifax, were of high calibre. Professor John S. Moir read a paper on "Canadian Protestant Reaction to the Nec Temere Decree". His paper will be published elsewhere. Also not included in this selection are the papers by the President of the Society, Prof. Tom Sinclair- Faulkner (Sacramental Suffering: Brother Andre and Spiri­ tuality in Quebec), and by Professor Keith Clifford (John MacKay and the Church Federation Association). The remaining papers are presented herewith for the convenience of members of the Society. A limited number of copies are available and may be purchased from the treasurer, Prof. Charles Johnston of St Andrew's College, Saskatoon. Because of the inordinately high cost of mailing we have not sent copies to members before the 1982 meetings of the Society in the hope that many of the copies can be distributed to members in Ottawa. Others will receive their copies in the course of the summer. Thanks are due to Ms Sandra MacNevin, a graduate student in the Faculty of Religious Studies, McGill for arranging the material and expertly "doctoring" out minor flaws in the manuscripts.

  • Freeborn Garrettson and Nova Scotia 143
    Methodist History, 30:3 (April 1992) i . FREEBORN GARRETTSON AND NOV A SCOTIA GEORGE A. RAWLYK A little more than a year after Henry Alline's death in New Hamp­ shire on February 2, 1784, an intense religious revival swept through many of the Yankee settlements of Nova Scotia. It was a revival which owed a great deal to an extraordinarily able Methodist preacher from Maryland, Freeborn Garrettson. And it was a revival, moreover, which energized a largely moribund radical evangelical movement by, among other things, providing it with a coterie of new, young, energetic, and remarkably gifted leaders-the most outstanding of whom were Edward Manning, Joseph Dimock, Harris Harding, and Theodore Seth Harding. The revival not only left in its wake a post-Alline leadership elite, but it also, almost as an afterthought, significantly exacerbated the tensions existing between the Whitefieldian orthodox elements of the radical evangelicals and Alline's mystical heterodoxy. The Garrettson revival played a key role in polariz­ ing Alline's followers into a small anarchic Antinomian sect, on one ex­ treme, and what eventually evolved into an evangelical Calvinist church, on the other. It is ironic, therefore, that a staunch. Arminian from the TJnited States should be involved in the transformation of Alline's free"" will anti-Calvinist "ecumenical movement" into what was destined to become a "closed" Baptist Calvinist church. 1 Henry Alline was a man almost larger than life, and he has cast a long shadow over the religious development of the New England-Nova Scotia region until the present day. His contemporaries regarded him as Nova Scotia's George Whitefield- as a powerful instrument of the Almighty, charismatic and uniquely spiritual.

    D.G. BELL Allowed Irregularities: Women Preachers in the Early 19th-Century Maritimes WHEN BRITISH AMERICA’S FIRST NOVELIST published Tonnewonte, or the Adopted Son of America (1825), one of the “scenes from REAL LIFE” that Fredericton’s Julia Beckwith Hart chose for depiction was a religious meeting conducted by an itinerant Quakeress: The deepest silence reigned in the apartment, when the female preacher arose, and delivered a sensible discourse, strictly scriptural. By degrees, warmed with the importance of the subject, she kindled into enthusiasm. The hearts of her audience were affected, their consciences awakened, and many retired with a resolution to amend their future lives, and endeavour to make their peace with Heaven.1 Commercial considerations led Hart to set her tale in New York rather than New Brunswick, but the figure of the female preacher was one with which colonists of the 1820s were becoming familiar. She was less true-to-life in representing “Hannah Reeves” as an elderly exemplar of a famously earnest sect delivering a “sensible discourse, strictly scriptural”. In Hart’s day scenes of preaching by women were often ones of spectacle, sensation and controversy. This study draws on the experience of four women whose preaching labours in the Maritime colonies overlapped in the early 19th century, the point when Protestants were most open to the experiment. Of the preachers as individuals it offers only bare biographical details. Even so, the little group can seem to resist generalization, for it includes married and single, itinerant and settled, a woman of means and a domestic servant.
