George Dana Boardman ( February 8 , 1801 - February 11 , 1831 ) was an American missionary .
Colby College is a private liberal arts college in Waterville , Maine . Approximately 1,800 students from more than 60 countries are enrolled annually . The college offers 54 major fields of study and 30 minors . It was founded in 1813 as the Maine Literary and Theological Institution until it was renamed after the city it resides in with Waterville College . The donations of Christian philanthropist Gardner Colby saw the institution renamed again to Colby University before concluding on its final and current title , reflecting its liberal arts college curriculum . Located in central Maine , the 714-acre Neo-Georgian campus sits atop Mayflower Hill and overlooks downtown Waterville and the Kennebec River Valley . Along with fellow Maine institutions Bates College and Bowdoin College , Colby competes in the New England Small College Athletic Conference ( NESCAC ) and the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Consortium . Colby is ranked as the 11th best ( tied ) liberal arts in the country according to U.S. News & World Report and is ranked 61st among all institutions of higher learning according to Forbes .
Baptists form a major branch of Protestantism distinguished by baptizing professing believers only ( believer 's baptism , as opposed to infant baptism ) , and doing so by complete immersion ( as opposed to affusion or aspersion ) . Baptist churches also generally subscribe to the doctrines of soul competency ( the responsibility and accountability of every person before God ) , sola fide ( salvation by faith alone ) , sola scriptura ( scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice ) and congregationalist church government . Baptists generally recognize two ordinances : baptism and communion . Diverse from their beginning , those identifying as Baptists today differ widely from one another in what they believe , how they worship , their attitudes toward other Christians , and their understanding of what is important in Christian discipleship . Historians trace the earliest Baptist church to 1609 in Amsterdam , Dutch Republic with English Separatist John Smyth as its pastor . In accordance with his reading of the New Testament , he rejected baptism of infants and instituted baptism only of believing adults . Baptist practice spread to England , where the General Baptists considered Christ 's atonement to extend to all people , while the Particular Baptists believed that it extended only to the elect . Thomas Helwys formulated a distinctively Baptist request that the church and the state be kept separate in matters of law , so that individuals might have freedom of religion . Helwys died in prison as a consequence of the religious conflict with English dissenters under King James I . In 1638 , Roger Williams established the first Baptist congregation in the North American colonies . In the 18th and 19th centuries , the First and Second Great Awakening increased church membership in the United States . Baptist missionaries have spread their faith to every continent .

Along with Mary Caffrey Low , Ida Fuller , Frances Mann and Louise Helen Coburn , Hoag helped to form Sigma Kappa at Colby College in Waterville , Maine on November 9 , 1874 . The five women were the only female students at Colby at that time . Colby was the first New England college to allow the admittance of women . Being the only women in the college , the five of them found themselves together frequently . In 1873-74 , the five young women decided to form a literary and social society . They were instructed by the college administration that they would need to present a constitution and bylaws with a petition requesting permission to form Sigma Kappa Sorority . They began work during that year and on November 9 , 1874 , the five young women received a letter from the faculty approving their petition . They sought for and received permission to form a sorority with the intent for the organization to become national . Hoag was described as an only child , happy and joyous , who was very artistic and wrote musical plays . She lived with her widowed mother and her Quaker grandmother , who frequently found it necessary to say , Thee talks too much , Elizabeth . Since Hoag 's mother was the organist for the village church , Mary Caffrey Low knew her prior to Colby .

Fuller served as one of the co-founders of the Sigma Kappa sorority , along with Mary Caffrey Low Carver , Elizabeth Gorham Hoag , Frances Elliott Mann Hall and Louise Helen Coburn .

Patten ) ( March 26 , 1864 to May 10 , 1952 ) was a distinguished United States Congregational Church clergyman who served congregations in New England and the Pacific coast . He was the author of books , hymn texts and poems . His best remembered work is the hymn text Faith of Our Mothers written circa 1920 .
Congregational churches ( also Congregationalist churches ; Congregationalism ) are Protestant churches in the Reformed tradition practicing congregationalist church governance , in which each congregation independently and autonomously runs its own affairs . Congregationalism , as defined by the Pew Research Center , is estimated to represent 0.5 percent of the worldwide Protestant population ; though their polity-related customs and other ideas influenced significant parts of Protestantism , as well as other Christian congregations . The report defines it very narrowly , encompassing mainly denominations in the United States and the United Kingdom , which can trace their history back to nonconforming Protestants , Puritans , Separatists , Independents , English religious groups coming out of the English Civil War , and other English dissenters not satisfied with the degree to which the Church of England had been reformed . Congregationalist tradition has a presence in the United States , the United Kingdom , Ireland , Canada , South Africa , Australia , New Zealand , and various island nations in the Pacific region . It has been introduced either by immigrant dissenter Protestants or by missionary organization such as the London Missionary Society . A number of evangelical Congregational churches are members of the World Evangelical Congregational Fellowship . In the United Kingdom , many Congregational churches claim their descent from Protestant denominations formed on a theory of union published by the theologian and English separatist Robert Browne in 1582 . Other accounts trace these origins further back to the London Underground Church of the 1560s . Ideas of nonconforming Protestants during the Puritan Reformation of the Church of England laid foundation for these churches . In England , the early Congregationalists were called Separatists or Independents to distinguish them from the similarly Calvinistic Presbyterians , whose churches embrace a polity based on the governance of elders . Congregationalists also differed with the Reformed churches using episcopalian church governance , which is usually led by a bishop . Congregationalism in the United States traces its origins to the Puritans of New England , who wrote the Cambridge Platform of 1648 to describe the autonomy of the church and its association with others .
