The American Baptist Church was founded by Roger Williams, who also established the colony of Rhode Island in 1636. Williams, a separatist from the Puritan church in Massachusetts, advocated for religious freedom and the separation of church and state. His beliefs and actions led to the creation of a colony that welcomed diverse religious practices. Rhode Island became a refuge for those seeking freedom from religious persecution.
