determining the structure and composition of a watershed and its biotic communities. In this. diagram (Figure 8), the strength of influence on the watershed is represented in two ways: the. relative size of the arrows, and the level of control indicated at the right side of the diagram. As a result of different combinations of these formative processes, different types of watersheds. are created (Figure 9).
Baptist Churches were established in the American colonies from the mid-17th century. In 1639, Roger Williams founded a church on Baptist principles in Providence, Rhode Island, and this is usually regarded as the beginning of American Baptist history.
In 1612, Thomas Helwys established a Baptist congregation in London, consisting of congregants from Smyth's church. A number of other Baptist churches sprang up, and they became known as the General Baptists. The Particular Baptists were established when a group of Calvinist Separatists adopted believers' Baptism.
