Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the History of Baptist Education in Pennsylvania I must emphasize at the beginning that this paper is only a sketch. Anything more would require a small volume at least. In spite of the limits which are imposed upon me, however, it will be best to give considerable attention to the earlier days. Baptists began to come to Pennsylvania as early at least as 1684. A company from Rhode Island under the leadership of Thomas Dungan settled at Cold Spring, between Bristol and Trenton, and organized themselves into the first Baptist society in Pennsylvania. This church was of only temporary duration, however, lasting merely until 1702. In the winter of 1687-1688, probably in the month of January, a church was organized near Pennepek Creek which in its early history was known as the Pennepek, but now is more quickly recognized as the Lower Dublin church, within the limits of the present city of Philadelphia. In 1707 this church, the only one in Pennsylvania, with that at the Welsh Tract, Delaware, and the churches at Piscataqua, Middletown and Cohansie, N. J., united into an organization out of which developed the present Philadelphia Baptist Association. The organization was very simple and probably for some years few if any minutes or other records of the meetings were made. Not until 1749 was there any effort to secure a record of the origin of the churches of the association and of the annual gatherings. From that time on minutes of the meetings were more carefully made and from 1766 or earlier they were published in broadside or pamphlet form. I have taken time to speak of these simple origins and the records because on these records, exceedingly brief before 1750, and largely compiled from memory, we are chiefly dependent for our knowledge concerning the beginning of Baptist education in Pennsylvania. In these records the first reference to education is in 1722, very likely written from the recollection of some one who was interested in the action. The entire record for that year is as follows: At the Association in the year 1722, it was Proposed for the Churches to make Enquiry among themselves if they have any Young Persons hopfull for the Ministry And Inclinable for Learning, And if they have, to Give Notice of it to Mr. Abel Morgan before the first of November that he might Recommend such to the Accadamie on Mr. Hollis his account.
