History Of Florida Baptists Sunday School

History of Florida Baptist’s Sunday School is a gathering of facts, stories, legends, and dreams from the earliest known Sunday school in 1843 through 2004. This writing identifies over 400 people who have made significant contributions to Sunday school work in Florida; provides historical records through tables and statistics; and gives chronological as well as topical studies in one resource. Information comes from personal interviews, telephone conversations, associational minutes, church records, and over 100 years of records from state convention annuals and The Florida Baptist Witness, including a historic report to the convention in 1911 by Dr. W.A. Hobson, who was then pastor of the First Baptist Church, Jacksonville. The story of Sunday school is written in every church, by every Sunday school leader, so there is no way to compile a comprehensive history of Sunday school, but this volume at least gathers information for reference and historians
