Neuse Baptist Association, 1833
Lenoir County, North Carolina


The Neuse Baptist Association held its annual session at Fort Barnwell Chapel, Craven County, on the 19th, 20th, and 21st of October last. The introductory discourse was delivered by Elder Jacob Grigg, Saml. Simpson was chosen Moderator, Wm. P. Biddle Clerk, and Chas. Kelly Assistant Clerk. This body comprises 23 Churches 8 of which only were represented. The additions of members to those which have made returns are small. Among the measures adopted on the occassion were the following:

Resolved, That the Association recommend to the individual members of this body and all their friends, the Baptist Interpreter and the Biblical Recorder published by brother Meredith of Edenton.

Whereas, Abraham Congleton, John P. Dunn and William Clark, have embraced, and are now in the habit of preaching doctrines which are deemed not only heretical, but subversive of the peace and best interests of our Churches viz: the fundamental views of a certain Mr. Campbell; it is therefore

Resolved, That the Churches connected with this body are recommended to exclude from their pulpits, and from their Churches the above named individuals, and all others professing the same and similar sentiments.
