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.
Scholars have repeatedly asserted that Black history and Black church history overlap enough to be virtually identical. One of the First known Black churches in America was created before the American Revolution, around 1758. Called the African Baptist or Bluestone Church, this house of worship was founded on the William Byrd plantation near the Bluestone River, in Mecklenburg, Virginia.
