apatite
A member of the phosphate group of minerals, the world's major source of phosphorus, found as variously colored, glassy crystals, masses, or nodules. Much of it has a chemical composition approximating Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH). If not for its softness, apatite would be a popular gemstone; some of the material found is clear, but it is fragile and difficult to cut and polish.
baptism
In Christianity, the sacrament of admission to the church, symbolized by the pouring or sprinkling of water on the head or by immersion in water. The ceremony is usually accompanied by the words "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." In the doctrine originated by St. Paul, it signifies the wiping away of past sins and the rebirth of the individual into a new life. Judaism practiced ritual purification by immersion, and the Gospels report that John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Baptism was an important ritual in the early church by the 1st cent., and infant baptism appeared by the 3rd cent. Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and most Protestant churches practice infant baptism. The Anabaptist reformers insisted on adult baptism after a confession of faith; modern Baptists and the Disciples of Christ also practice adult baptism.
Baptist
Member of a group of Protestant Christians who hold that only adult believers should be baptized and that it must be done by immersion. During the 17th cent. two groups of Baptists emerged in England: General Baptists, who held that Christ's atonement applied to all persons, and Particular Baptists, who believed it was only for the elect. Baptist origins in the Amer. colonies can be traced to R. Williams, who established a Baptist church in Providence, R.I., in 1639. Baptist growth in the U.S. was spurred by the Great Awakening in the mid-18th cent. The 1814 General Convention showed divisions among U.S. Baptists over slavery; a formal split occurred when the Southern Baptist Convention was organized in 1845 and was confirmed when the Northern (Amer.) Baptist Convention was organized in 1907. African-Amer. Baptist churches provided leadership in the 1960s civil rights movement, notably through the work of M. L. King. Baptist belief emphasizes the authority of local congregations in matters of faith and practice; worship is characterized by extemporaneous prayer and hymn-singing as well as by the exposition of scripture in sermons.
Cartier
French sailor and explorer. He was commissioned by Francis I to explore N. America in the hope of discovering gold, spices, and a passage to Asia. Cartier's explorations of the N. Amer. coast and the St. Lawrence River (1534, 1535, 1541-42) did not produce the desired results, but they did lay the basis for later French claims to Canada.
