Question: In which country is the Episcopal Diocese of the state founded as a colony by the founder of the first Baptist group in what is now the U.S.?

In 1638, Roger Williams established the first Baptist congregation in the North American colonies. Historians trace the earliest church labeled Baptist back to 1609 in Amsterdam, 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. In the mid-18th century, the First Great Awakening increased Baptist growth in both New England and the South. The Second Great Awakening in the South in the early 19th century increased church membership, as did the preachers' lessening of support for abolition and manumission of slavery, which had been part of the 18th-century teachings. Baptist missionaries have spread their church to every continent. <SEP> richmond has several historic churches. because of its early english colonial history from the early 17th century to 1776, richmond has a number of prominent anglican/episcopal churches including monumental church, st. paul's episcopal church and st. john's episcopal church. methodists and baptists made up another section of early churches, and first baptist church of richmond was the first of these, established in 1780. in the reformed church tradition, the first presbyterian church in the city of richmond was first presbyterian church, organized on june 18, 1812. on february 5, 1845, second presbyterian church of richmond was founded, which was a historic church where stonewall jackson attended and was the first gothic building and the first gas-lit church to be built in richmond. st. peter's church was dedicated and became the first catholic church in richmond on may 25, 1834. the city is also home to the historic cathedral of the sacred heart which is the motherchurch for the roman catholic diocese of richmond. <SEP> The Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island is a diocese of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, encompassing the state of Rhode Island.
