Bob Childress
Bob Childress (1890–1956) was a Presbyterian minister who was born in the town of Ararat, Virginia and raised in the Primitive Baptist tradition. He became known throughout the Southern Appalachian region for his work to transform the region's culture of violence and promote basic education. He is also the founder of the famous "Rock Churches" of Floyd, Patrick and Carroll counties in Virginia.〔http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/wb/wb/xp-94728〕
==Early life==
As a young man he witnessed and was caught up in the violence, alcoholism and ignorance of his impoverished and then isolated Buffalo Mountain community. He claimed that his earliest memory was of his mother nursing his illness by holding a whisky soaked rag to his mouth.〔http://www.roanoke.com/extra/wb/196542 - Roanoke Times, March 4, 2009〕 Unable to attend school for much of his childhood he often resorted to violence and began drinking heavily. But upon witnessing a massacre at a court house he vowed to quit drinking and entered law enforcement. Eventually he got married and had children. After a chance visit to a Presbyterian church he began attending regularly and soon realized that he wanted to become a minister. He returned to high school at the age of 30 in the same one room school as his 6 year old son.〔http://www.christianhistorytimeline.com/GLIMPSEF/Glimpses/glmps112.shtml〕
