Baptists of Iowa Convened for Denominational College Discuss 1852–53
In October 1852 Iowa Baptists formed a convention to address a denominational college. The gathering met November 10 in Oskaloosa with poor attendance due to weather, and adjourned to reconvene in June 1853 at Pella. The June meeting was highly representative with broad church notification and prayers for God’s guidance in selecting a location.
