Benjamin Marcus Bogard (March 9, 1868 – May 29, 1951) was an American Baptist clergyman, author, editor, educator, radio broadcaster, and champion debater in primarily the U.S. state of Arkansas. In 1924, Bogard founded the American Baptist Association, commonly called the Missionary Baptist denomination, based in Texarkana, Texas. In 1928, Bogard successfully pushed for an Arkansas state law which banned the teaching of the theory of evolution in public schools; the law was overturned by the United States Supreme Court in 1968, seventeen years after Bogard's death. He was a chief proponent of the Landmark Baptist movement, which attributes an unbroken continuity and legitimacy to the Baptist Church since Apostolic times.. ==Kentucky background== Bogard was the only son of six children born to M. L. and Nancy Bogard in Elizabethtown in central Kentucky. The Bogards were tenant farmers who raised tobacco as their cash crop. In 1873, the Bogards moved to Caseyville〔Not to be confused with Casey County in Central Kentucky〕 in Union County in western Kentucky. There he attended school and the nearby Woodland Baptist Church, still in existence in Morganfield, Kentucky.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Woodland Baptist Church )〕 Young Bogard was also a frequent participant in religious camp meetings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Benjamin Marcus Bogard (1868–1951) )〕 In the spring of 1913, Caseyville was destroyed by an Ohio River flood and not rebuilt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Caseyville, KY Flood, April 1913 )〕 During a church service in February 1885, the teenaged Bogard was baptized in an icy pond, a signal of his faith in Jesus Christ. In 1887 and 1888, he attended Georgetown College in Georgetown in Scott County north of Lexington, Kentucky. In 1887, he received ordination as a Baptist minister.〔 After Georgetown, he conducted further studies at Bethel College in Russellville, also formerly known as Russellville Male Academy. Located in Logan County in south Kentucky, the institution closed in 1964.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Baptists begat both Bethels )〕 Though he was called "Dr. Bogard", the title was ceremonial. In 1901, he received an honorary Doctor of Divinity from the then Southwest Bible College in Bolivar in Polk County in southwestern Missouri. He subsequently received an honorary degree from the since disbanded Missionary Baptist College in Sheridan in Grant County in southern Arkansas.〔 In 1891, Bogard married Lynn Oneida Meacham Owen (1868–1952), a native of Christian County in southwestern Kentucky, and the widow of Frazier Westley Owen, Jr. (1867-1889). Both were twenty-three; she had a three-year-old daughter, later Lela Owen Ryan, who was born in 1888.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lynn Oneida Meacham Bogard )〕 The Bogards had a son together, Douglas Bogard.〔 From 1892 to 1898, Bogard was the pastor of several churches in Kentucky and Missouri.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ben M.
