The Beginning of the Baptist Church in America
First Baptist Church in America的点评
点评：While the Baptist denomination did not start in the colonies of the US, its major source of members today is the US and nearly every city has a First Baptist of that city so only fitting to have a First Baptist of America. Now, some of the sources I have seen argue whether the Williams Providence church or the Clarke Newport church was first, but it is definitely evident the first was Rhode Island.
Unfortunately, on our Labor Day visit, the church was closed, but we did get to see the exterior. The congregation was founded by Williams in 1638 only 2 years after Williams was banished from Massachusetts and founded Providence and 30 years after the beginning of the Baptist denomination. However, the current church was built in 1775 and renovated in 1957 by the Rockefeller family, a big Baptist family, back to its early appearance. While the church is Baptist fashion, very plain and white, it was an anomaly for the denomination. First was size as when constructed on the eve of the Revolutionary War in 1774-75, it was the largest building in New England. Second it had a steeple like Anglican churches, prior to this church, no Baptist church had a steeple, yet it was still fairly plain in its presentation.
Even today when we visited with one Baptist in our party, the church is notable for its size and simplistic beauty. Every Baptist church in this country north or south traces its roots to this church and it is that significance that makes this something to see when you come to Rhode Island.

翻译：虽然浸信会并非起源于美国殖民地，但如今其主要成员来源是美国，几乎每个城市都有该市的第一位浸信会成员，因此拥有美国第一位浸信会成员再合适不过了。现在，我看到的一些资料争论威廉姆斯普罗维登斯教堂或克拉克纽波特教堂是否是第一个，但很明显第一个是罗德岛。
不幸的是，在我们劳动节访问时，教堂关闭了，但我们确实看到了外观。该教会由威廉姆斯于 1638 年创立，这距离威廉姆斯被驱逐出马萨诸塞州并创立普罗维登斯仅两年，距离浸信会成立仅 30 年。然而，目前的教堂建于 1775 年，并于 1957 年由洛克菲勒家族（一个浸信会大家族）翻新，恢复了早期的面貌。虽然教堂是浸信会风格，非常朴素和白色，但对于该教派来说，这是一个异常现象。首先是规模，因为它建于 1774-75 年独立战争前夕，是新英格兰最大的建筑。其次，它有一个像圣公会教堂一样的尖塔，在此之前，浸信会教堂都没有尖塔，但它的外观仍然相当朴素。
即使在今天，当我们和一位浸信会成员一起参观时，这座教堂也以其规模和简约之美而闻名。这个国家北部或南部的每一座浸信会教堂都起源于这座教堂，正是这种重要性让它成为您来到罗德岛时值得一看的地方。
