Seventh-Day Baptists

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2011 | Copyright

Seventh-Day Baptists Protestant church holding the same doctrines as other Calvinistic Baptists but observing the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath. In the Reformation in England the observance was adopted by many, and in the 17th cent. there were Seventh-Day Baptists among the followers of Oliver Cromwell. In America the first Seventh-Day Baptist church in the country was organized (1671) in Rhode Island. Another group, the German Seventh-Day Baptists, under the leadership of Johann Conrad Beissel , established (c.1728–1733) at Ephrata, Pa., a semimonastic religious society, famous in colonial times. Among their industries was a noted print shop. Their teaching and practice are closely related to the Brethren Church.

Seventh Day Baptists

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Seventh Day Baptists. From about the 1640s some English Baptists regarded the Fourth Commandment as requiring the observance of Saturday, rather than Sunday, as the day of rest and worship. The movement spread to North America, where a group of them severed their membership of the Baptist Church in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1671. Seventh Day Baptists, though small in number, still survive.
