William Bullein Johnson (13 June 1782 – 2 October 1862) was one of the founders of the South Carolina State Baptist Convention in 1821, and later was the first president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1845 to 1851.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Bullein Johnson )〕 == Early years == Johnson was born on 13 June 1782 on John's Island, South Carolina, near Charleston and was educated at home in Georgetown, South Carolina by his mother and by private tutors. His mother was of the Particular Baptist faith, believing that the redemptive work of Christ only applied to those who were saved. As a child he met President George Washington and Dr. Richard Furman, pastor of the First Baptist Church Charleston, who made a great impression on him. He attended Brown University, receiving a degree in 1804. He had intended to become a lawyer, but was converted during a Baptist revival in 1804, and devoted the rest of his life to Christian service. He married Henrietta Hornby in 1803.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Bullein Johnson: An Advocate of the Priesthood of Believers )〕 One of their eight children who reached maturity, Francis C. Johnson, became a Southern Baptist missionary to China in 1846.〔 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「William Bullein Johnson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
