Hello, I have recently been given a part transcription of the Nash Strict Baptist Chapel Minute Book and it makes very interesting reading although it has raised its own set of questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. The chapel was apparently established in 1798 for the "open and free communion for Independents and Baptists as fellow members", so my first question is, was this in any way unusual for Independents and Baptists to share the same building? The Minute Book is dated May 1839, having "lost our former memoirs and Articles through an enemy, we make the attempt on our best remembrance" and shortly afterwards there are comments "for remember how many are watching for our halting and how many Callamys have been thrown at us by protesters around us terming us Arminians and others Antinomians". To me this suggests a vicious split between the Independents and Baptists for there are no more references to Independents in the book, but my second question is what are Arminians and Antinomians? The entries between 1892 and 1944 used the terms Brother and Sister as in this July 1939 entry "in respect to windows being darkened is agreed that the lady Sisters present join together to find the material and carry out the work necessary for the darkening of the chapel windows, to meet the request of the A R P." These terms were not used before 1892 or after 1944, so my third question is how common was this term day to day, or was it reserved for official documents? I am happy to e-mail the document to anyone who would like a copy, it's a small Word document. Greg Davies Nash, Bucks, UK
