Book Description
Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Baptist Missionary Convention of the State of New York: Embracing a Narrative of the Origin and Progress of the Baptist Denomination in Central and Western New York This resolution was sustained by Br. J. Peck, in remarks giving a brief but deeply interesting account of the origin and progress of this body; after which the following resolution was unanimously passed: Resolved, That Bru. J. Peck and J. Lawton be requested to draw up a succinct and consecutive account Of the origin and progress of this Convention, for publication under the direction of the Board. In compliance' with the above we undertook the work. In View of the whole subject, however, we thought that a full exhibition of the wonderful dealings Of Providence with the Baptist denomination in western New York would require an account Of their settlement and early history in this section. We have therefore given a brief sketch of many incidents which occurred at this early day, connected with the progress of religion and the establishment Of churches. The task, we found, was indeed laborious for, as we intended that our narrative should be strictly authentic, nothing was to be taken on trust, and we were required to make thorough and patient search for such documents as would afford the necessary information.

Book Description
To the pioneer folk of Upper and Lower Canada—Loyalists, "late" Loyalists, and the hordes of land-seekers—living in what seemed like religious destitution, various American Baptist missionary associations in Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York State sent missionary preachers in the decade after 1800. Numerous small churches were established, but the War of 1812 disturbed these efforts, and much of the missionary activity itself had to be abandoned for an interval. This may well have stimulated the co-operation which had already appeared before the war between Canadian Baptist communities. Out of this co-operation were to develop conferences and associations of Canadian Baptist churches, until by 1820 all were members of Canadian groups. By 1818 travelling missionaries from the United States had almost ceased to visit; the Canadian churches had begun to raise up ministers from among their own members. In this very complete investigation of early Baptist history in Canada, assembled from a wide variety of sources, every separate group has been recorded and its development traced, and all available information has been coordinated for the missionaries and ministers who served the groups. The book is a veritable encyclopaedia of early Baptist history and will be invaluable to future students of Baptist history in general. This study of a developing cultural tradition strikingly parallels the struggle to master the physical features of a new land.
