Tyndale Baptist Church
Tyndale Baptist Church is a Baptist church in Whiteladies Road, Redland, in Bristol, England. The church was founded in 1869, following an initiative by Broadmead Baptist Church to establish a church to serve the growing population of Redland. Funds to build the new church were raised by a committee chaired by E. S. Robinson, founder of the paper and packaging business E. S. & A. Robinson, and mayor of Bristol in 1866. The first minister was the Revd Richard Glover (1837–1919), President of the Baptist Union in 1884 and active in promoting the work of the Baptist Missionary Society. Glover served the church until 1911. Several members of the church were prominent in Bristol public life. The first Lord Mayor of Bristol in 1899, Sir Herbert Ashman, was baptized by Glover. Edward Robinson, a son of E. S. Robinson, was Lord Mayor in 1908. Charles Townsend, M.P. for Bristol North from 1892 to 1895, was church secretary for more than 20 years. Stained ...

Baptist Churches In Bristol
Baptists form a major branch of Protestantism distinguished by baptizing professing Christian believers only (believer's baptism), and doing so by complete immersion. Baptist churches also generally subscribe to the doctrines of soul competency (the responsibility and accountability of every person before God), '' sola fide'' (salvation by just faith alone), '' sola scriptura'' (scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice) and congregationalist church government. Baptists generally recognize two ordinances: baptism and communion. Diverse from their beginning, those identifying as Baptists today differ widely from one another in what they believe, how they worship, their attitudes toward other Christians, and their understanding of what is important in Christian discipleship. For example, Baptist theology may include Arminian or Calvinist beliefs with various sub-groups holding different or competing positions, while others allow for diversity in this matter withi ...
