Quotes by Thomas S. Kidd (?)

“Another way of putting this is that black Baptists were outsiders to the dominant white/European way of doing church. Instead, they forged a history of their own, and even their own distinct form of sacred music.”
― Thomas S. Kidd, Baptists in America: A History

“Early twentieth-century Baptists had a hard time resisting the temptation to conflate soul freedom with the autonomy of the individual, a secular notion that liberal Protestants and secular liberals alike embraced.”

“Henry knew the gunpowder episode presented a new opportunity to radicalize the population against the British. He told his cousin George Dabney that Dunmore’s action was a “fortunate circumstance, which would rouse the people from North to South. You may in vain mention the duties to them upon tea and these things they will say do not affect them, but tell them of the robbery of the magazine and that the next step will be to disarm them, and they will be then ready to fly to arms to defend themselves.”
― Thomas S. Kidd, Patrick Henry: First Among Patriots
