[edit] Baptists' dog not in this hunt, it seems
I researched the older second-sentence reference to Ravenscroft's "opposition to the American Bible Society and the theology of baptism promoted by Baptists in particular." I found references (cited) describing in great detail his big fight with the Bible Society of North Carolina, and about his belief that performing baptisms required the authority of an established church (he was a bull in a china shop, it seems), but nothing about opposition to the Baptist denomination in particular. His most public foe in the controversy was John Rice, a Presbyterian. I leaned pretty hard on Google Books to find these sources, but got zero hits on anything linking Baptists to the controversy. If anyone finds specific references to the contrary, by all means, add them to the reference list and update the article appropriately. Bridgman 06:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
