Obadiah Holmes was not a university-trained pastor. He couldn’t read Greek or Hebrew or Latin. Indeed, he may not have read English well or at all until he was about 40 years old. But he was a genuinely converted man, graced and gifted to courageously stand for Christ in his day and pastor a church for several decades.

We pick up the story of Obadiah Holmes in Newport, Rhode Island where he had moved his family in early 1651. He attended the small Particular Baptist church there which was led by one of Newport’s founders, a medical doctor and the pastor, John Clarke. The congregation knew of a blind and elderly Baptist brother, (he was 67 years old), who lived in Lynn, Massachusetts. His name was William Witter and he may have been a member of the church. But regardless, the church desired to minister to him.

One of the truly heroic early colonial Particular Baptists who deserves recognition is Obadiah Holmes. He was born about 1607 in a rural area just south of Manchester in Northern England and was the second son in a family of eight or nine children. He wasn’t baptized until the age of 3, which is unusual of course. Perhaps he was ill as an infant or there was not a proper local clergyman to perform the ceremony. His parents were Robert and Catherine Holmes and his father was a farmer who somehow managed to send three of his sons to Oxford.
