The Early Baptists

In 1841, the first notable Baptist, Henry Cooper Daniell, arrived in New Zealand and settled in Nelson. The first Baptist to settle in Auckland was Joshua Robinson, who arrived in 1842, while Theophilus Mannering arrived in Canterbury/Otago ten years later. The first Baptist Minister, Decimus Dolamore from Yorkshire, arrived in Nelson in May 1851, and played a part in the formation of the first Baptist Church in New Zealand - Nelson Baptist Church - in that same year. He also campaigned for a law change in 1854, which allowed Baptist Ministers to perform marriage ceremonies. Until then only Catholic and Anglican ministers had been allowed to do so.

 Baptists are Christians who comprise a group of denominations and churches that subscribe to a doctrine that baptism should be performed only for professing believers, and that it must be done by immersion. Other tenets of Baptist churches include soul competency, salvation through faith alone, scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice, and the autonomy of the local congregation. Baptists recognize two ministerial offices,  pastors and deacons. Baptist churches are widely considered to be Protestant churches, though some Baptists disavow this identity.

        For task 3 I need research a religion. I don't belive god, I think nobody can help me. But I like the story about christianity,so I decide to research christianity church.
        Before I go to research the christianity,I search some information about it. I find Baptist church is a kind of christianity church. When I go to the church,Darcy Haliday,the minister help me finish the vedio. He told a lot of story about christianity to me, like resurrection of Jesus. He is very friendly.
          I think this task is very useful for us.Before I research this task,I don't kown what is  christianity. I know Buddhism and Taoism. This task give me some knowledge about christianity. I can understand why a lots of kiwi belive it .
          During this task I have a lot of problem. For example, When I start record the interview,I forget the words. My grammar have some problem,not big problem. My listening have some problem, sometimes I can't understand Darcy. The good thing for me is I am not nervous during this task, I felt happy an relaxed. I am enjoy research about the church.
          Overall,this task not good,I need study more hard. Practice everyday,especially english
grammar.I belive my english will better and better.
