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.
George Liele was the first black Baptist in Georgia, and the first black Baptist churches in American resulted from his evangelism. Liele was born in Virginia in 1752, but lived much of his life as a slave in Georgia. He was converted and baptized by Matthew Moore, an ordained Baptist minister.
