About the Book Baptists are Christians who baptize professing believers only by complete immersion (as opposed to infants). Fundamental beliefs of Baptist churches include soul competency/liberty, salvation through faith alone, autonomy of the local congregation, and belief in scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice. Baptists recognize baptism and the Lord's supper. While Baptist churches are widely considered to be Protestant, some Baptists disavow this view.

Orin Fowler was born on July 29, 1791 in Lebanon, Connecticut, the son of Captan Amos and Rebecca (Dewey) Fowler. He was the oldest boy and the sixth child in a family of twelve.
Prepared for college by his pastor, Reverend William B. Ripley, he entered Williams in 1811, but remained there for only one term.
After further study at Bacon Academy, Colchester, Connecticut, he became a member of the sophomore class at Yale, graduating in 1815.
After graduating from Yale in 1815, Fowler for a short time was preceptor of the academy in Fairfield, Connecticut, relinquishing the position in order to devote himself to a course in theology under Reverend Heman Humphrey of that town. On October 14, 1817, Fowler was licensed to preach by the Association of the Western District of Fairfield Comity; and on June 3, 1818, at Farmington, Connecticut, he was ordained by the North Association of Hartford County with a view to missionary work in the West. After a year spent chiefly in Indiana he returned to Connecticut.
To the Christian Spectator, August and September 1819, he contributed “Remarks on the State of Indiana. ” He was installed as pastor of the Congregational church, Plainfield, Connecticut, on March 1, 1820.
After a pastorate of nearly eleven years, having incurred the ill will of some of his parishioners who professed to believe reports derogatory to his character, he was dismissed by the Windham Association of Ministers, January 27, 1831, although a public investigation had revealed nothing affecting his standing as a Christian minister.
On July 7, 1831, he became pastor of the Congregational church in Fall River, Massachusetts. Reference to a long-standing dispute over the boundary-line between Massachusetts and Rhode Island in a series of discourses published under the title An Historical Sketch of Fall River from 1620 to the Present Time (1841) launched him on a political career.
His fellow townsmen made him one of a committee to represent them before boundary commissioners of the two states. Their decision was displeasing to the town, and Fowler defended its position under the pseudonym “Plymouth Colony” in articles appearing in the Boston Daily Atlashetwecn September 17 and October 18, 1847. As a result of these, on October 20, 1847, the Whig convention of Bristol County nominated him to the state Senate and he was elected. Here he was influential in causing the commissioners’ report to be rejected by Massachusetts.
His career in the legislature brought about his election to Congress in 1848 as a Free-Soil Whig, and the following year he took up his residence in Washington, although he was not formally dismissed from his church until May 1850. He was reelected for a second term, but died in Washington, September 3, 1852.

In his religious denomination Orin Fowler was a Congregationalist and installed as pastor of the Congregational Church in 1831 in Fall River, Massachusetts.

Fowler was an opponent of slavery and an advocate of temperance laws and cheap postage. His strength in the House consisted not so much in eloquence and readiness of debate as in diligent research and knowledge of facts.
Fowler was a member of the Association of the Western District of Fairfield Comity and of the North Association of Hartford County.
The following year, October 16, Orin Fowler married Amaryllis, daughter of John H. Payson of Pomfret, Connecticut.
