| | Abstract: | The Wooster Regular Baptist Association was an Ohio association of Regular Baptist ministers and church-appointed delegates which met yearly at various member churches (i.e. Massillon, Wooster, Warren, Salt Creek, Sugar Creek, Canal Dover, Alliance, Canton, Moscow, New Philadelphia, East Union, Indian Run, Canaan, Millbrook, Chipewa, Mohican, Greenford, First Salem, New Hagerstown, etc.). The association promoted foreign and domestic missions, ministerial education, Sabbath school, temperance, and the distribution of bibles, tracts, religious periodicals, and "other objects of Christian benevolence." The collection consists of a constitution and articles of faith, rules of order, and minutes of forty-two anniversary meetings, 1840-81, including resolutions pertaining particularly to the education of ministers, temperance, and Sunday religious instruction. Also includes introductory sermons, committee reports, financial reports, and lists of churches and ministers in the association, along with their letters of greeting, reports, and membership statistics. | |
