Collection #: AR 795 – 221 Biographical Sketch Clifton Judson Allen was born November 7, 1901 in a small farming community in Latta, Dillon County, South Carolina. He was the last of seven children of William Benjamin Allen, a farmer, and Theodisia (Cox) Allen, a housewife. He attended local grammar schools and graduated from Oalcho High School in 1919. He graduated from Furman University with a B.A. degree in 1923, from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with the Th.M. degree in 1928, followed by the Ph.D. degree in 1932. Allen was converted and baptized at the Catfish Creek Baptist Church in the Pee Dee Association and ordained by them in 1926. From 1923 – 1926, he was principal of Minturn High School in his hometown of Latta, South Carolina, and from 1928 – 1931, he was a tutor in the department of Greek New Testament at the seminary. From 1926 – 1937, he was pastor of the McHenry Baptist Church, McHenry, Kentucky; Utica Baptist Church, Utica, Kentucky; First Baptist Church Fairmont, North Carolina; and the Western Avenue Baptist Church, Statesville, North Carolina. 3 In mid 1937, Allen accepted a position as associate editorial secretary at the Baptist Sunday School Board in Nashville, Tennessee, where he served for 31 years until his retirement in 1968. Here he made the most significant contribution of his career to the cause of Sunday Schools and religious education. The Editorial Department, as it was called then, was responsible for preparing a style manual, which dictated the editorial style of all Board publications; securing copyrights on the Board's printed materials and giving permission for their republication and use in other publications; and serving as editor for special projects like encyclopedias and commentaries and interpreting the Board's ministry of Bible teaching and Christian education. In 1945, he was elected editorial secretary, following in the footsteps of Hight C Moore and W. R. White, both able denominational statesmen. In these years, his ministry expanded to include a weekly radio program on WSM, teaching the Sunday School lesson, and writing and editing, for more than 20 years, Points for Emphasis. In the final ten years with the Board, he made several trips abroad, visiting sixteen countries with Southern Baptist career missionaries and others, speaking, teaching and promoting the cause of Sunday Schools and religious education. He also found time to represent the Board on the Uniform Lessons Series committee, Commission on Teaching, and Baptist World Alliance, as well as serving the Southern Baptist Convention as recording secretary. Allen wrote several books and contributed scores of articles to Baptist and other periodicals. After his retirement from the Baptist Sunday School Board, Allen returned to live in Winston – Salem, North Carolina and serve as adjunct professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. In 1981, his beloved wife, Hattie Bell (McCracken) Allen, died. In 1982, he married Mrs. Rosiland Sheppard Street, widow of a successful pastor. In 1985, he witnessed the declining health and death of his first - born son and namesake, Judson Boyce Allen. Clifton J. Allen died of cancer in Winston - Salem, North Carolina on May 5, 1986 at the age of 84. He was survived by his second wife, a daughter and son, and seven grandchildren. His funeral was conducted at First Baptist Church, Nashville, Tennessee where he held membership for forty years. Burial was in Woodlawn Memorial Gardens in Nashville. Scope and Content Notes The Clifton Judson Allen Papers is an extensive collection of personal and work – related papers from the early 1920’s to shortly before the time of his death. The papers begin when he was principal of a small school and continue through his education, at Furman University and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and his illustrious career until his retirement years in Winston – Salem, North Carolina. They contain information about his early pastorates beginning with the church at McHenry, Kentucky through Fairmont and Western Avenue in North Carolina. His papers expand with his writing in the 1930’s for publications for the Sunday School Board in Nashville, his eventual employment by the Board in 1937, his elevation to editorial secretary in 1945, and his retirement in 1968. Also included, while he was with the Baptist Convention, are his work with the Baptist World Alliance, his work on the Committee for Uniform Lessons, and his world travels.

Collection#: AR 40 Biographical Sketch The Baptist Congress, a pioneering Baptist intellectual think tank and forum for theological, social, and ethical discussions and debates among members of Baptist churches, existed from 1882 to 1912. The need for an intellectual outlet through which Baptists from various traditions could discuss important and relevant issues of the time was first proposed by Providence, Rhode Island pastor Elias Henry Johnson. Johnson and thirteen other prominent Baptist scholars met in New York City November 29, 1881 and held an informal discussion panel on germane topics. At the meeting, Johnson officially proposed the formation of a Baptist Congress. The first official meeting of the organization was held in Brooklyn, New York in 1882. The Baptist Congress met annually for the next thirty years across the United States and Canada, with the exception of 1891 when no meeting was held. Due to decreasing attendance, the Baptist Congress held its last meeting in Ithaca, New York in 1912.

  • A Survey of Baptist World Alliance Conversations with Other Churches
    BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE Joint meeting of Baptist Heritage and Identity Commission and the Doctrine and Interchurch Cooperation Commission, Seville, 11 July, 2002. A Survey of Baptist World Alliance Conversations with other [1] Churches and some implications for Baptist Identity. (Ken Manley) The Baptist World Alliance has now completed four inter-church conversations. The first was with the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (1973-77); the second with Roman Catholics through the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity (1984-88); the third with the Lutheran World Federation (1986-89); the fourth with the Mennonite World Conference (1989- 92).[2] Since then conversations have been held with the Orthodox Church or, more precisely, ‘pre-conversations’ have been shared with the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul (1994-97) although these seem to have been discontinued by the Orthodox representatives. Although initial conversations with the Anglican Consultative Council were commenced in 1991, formal conversations did not begin until 2000 (because of delays by the Anglicans) and are continuing. The question of further talks with the Roman Catholics is being considered. The General Secretary has also raised the desirability of conversations with Pentecostals, a possibility often canvassed also within the Doctrine and Interchurch Cooperation Study Commission.[3] As we prepare to celebrate the centenary of the BWA it is opportune to review these bilateral conversations, assess what has been achieved, acknowledge what has not been accomplished, explore what these conversations have revealed about Baptist identity, both to others and ourselves, and consider future possibilities and directions. The first striking fact about these conversations is that they did not begin until the 1970s! To understand this it is necessary first to consider the larger question of the relationship between the BWA and the ecumenical movement generally.

  • 2020 Yearbook
    2020 YEARBOOK STANDING TOGETHER BY STAYING CONNECTED DIRECTORY GENERAL COUNCIL MINUTES STATISTICS NETWORKING THE BAPTIST FAMILY TO IMPACT THE WORLD FOR CHRIST Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Baptist World Alliance mission statement is “Networking the Baptist family to impact the world for Christ.” Core to this endeavor are ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships and ministry partnerships within the BWA family. Annually, since the late 1920s, the BWA has produced a Yearbook that is today shared with the conventions, unions, associations, and Baptist leaders actively involved in the BWA’s multifaceted ministry “to impact the world for Christ.” Across four sections, the Yearbook details the BWA organizational leadership and member bodies, provides the official account of the proceedings of BWA General Council meetings and the annual statistics of Baptists around the world, publishes financial statements and contribution reports as part of a commitment to financial integrity and transparency, and concludes with a directory of BWA Baptist leaders currently serving on BWA committees and commissions. The Yearbook is provided with the conviction that we are biblically called to encounter one another in loving fellowship and joyful collaboration. While asking for the responsible utilization of included information, it is expected that the Yearbook will enhance ministry partnerships. It is also hoped that the Yearbook will challenge us to pray more concretely for one another and to make direct contact that expresses solidarity with any BWA Baptist experiencing sorrow, hardship, or joy of any kind. May the Lord continue to richly bless you and BWA Baptists around the world. Thank you for your partnership in the mission of God.

  • Tributes to Rev. Dr. Doyle Sager Doyle Sager, Lead Pastor of First Baptist Church in Jefferson City Since 1997, Passed Away Friday (Jan
    Tributes to Rev. Dr. Doyle Sager Doyle Sager, lead pastor of First Baptist Church in Jefferson City since 1997, passed away Friday (Jan. 22) after a battle with cancer. In addition to a rich legacy of ministry, he leaves behind his wife, Janet, of 48 years, three grown children, eight grandchildren, one brother, one sister, and many loved extended family members. “Doyle was an exceptional preacher and pastor, possessing a sharp mind and a tender heart,” said Melissa Hatfield, FBC’s pastor of youth and missions. “In all he did, love was his motive, and love was his method. God gifted Doyle a pastor’s heart, and once he recognized that at the age of 15, Doyle never looked back. The mantle of shepherd was sacred to him, and he was a tremendous steward of the trust and sacredness of that calling.” Sager, 69, was born in Bethany, Missouri, on Dec. 31, 1951. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, and a Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City. “I am thankful for having had the privilege of working with Doyle as my pastor, boss, and friend for almost 30 years,” said Rod Maples, FBC’s pastor of worship, who also worked on staff with Sager at First Baptist Church in Sedalia before they both came to Jefferson City. “There was never a time when he stepped into the pulpit when he was not prepared. He was a humble, faithful servant of God who spoke the word of God with truth and love.” Ordained into the ministry in 1970 by McFall Baptist Church in McFall, Missouri, Sager spent the next 50 years as a pastor.

  • Inventory to the Baptist World Alliance Collection
    INVENTORY TO THE BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE COLLECTION AR. 550 Baptist World Alliance Youth Committee and visitors, 1935 Southern Baptist Historical Library & Archives 2001 INVENTORY TO THE BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE COLLECTION AR. 550 I. Historical Note The Baptist World Alliance, the official global fellowship of Baptists, uniting 201 Baptist conventions/unions was started in London, England, in 1905 at the first Baptist World Congress. For more than a hundred years, Baptist leaders had written of the need of an organization to bring Baptists, a highly autonomous people, together. Ninety five years later, the BWA still exists to provide fellowship, meet human need, lead in evangelism and work for justice. The Baptist World Alliance is best described as a fellowship of believers around the world. Because Baptists do not have one central authority they choose to work together in the BWA. The BWA: (1) encourages our brothers and sisters as they struggle under very difficult circumstances to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, (2) learns first-hand from believers around the world how God is working among them, (3) networks with Baptist leaders from six continents and become conduits of hope, (4) prays with Baptists who suffer from religious, government or economic injustice and work with them for religious freedom and justice, and (5) deepens and strengthens our Baptist roots and identity. The BWA promotes fellowship: (1) by visits of the President, General Secretary and Directors to Baptist unions and conventions, (2) through the Communications Division which sends and receives information of Baptists around the world, (3) through the Baptist World Congresses which bring the Baptist family together to share the Christian experience and join in worship, and (4) through regional group meetings which encourages participation of all member bodies in regional meetings for the experience of sharing and exchanging of ideas and concerns and giving thanksgiving to God.

  • From Church Competence to Soul Competence: the Devolution of Baptist Ecclesiology
    Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry Vol. 3 No. 1 (Spring 2005): 145-163 From Church Competence to Soul Competence: The Devolution of Baptist Ecclesiology John Hammett Professor of Systematic Theology Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Post Office Box 1889 Wake Forest, NC 27588 The thesis of this paper is threefold: (1) that congregational polity in Baptist ecclesiology was undergirded, particularly in its early days, by a conviction that Christ had granted to each local church power and authority (what I call competence) to order its own affairs; (2) that over a long period of time, but particularly in the late nineteenth century, a variety of factors developed in American life that began to undermine the idea of church competence and replace it with an idea enshrined in the phrase “soul competence;” and (3) that this development should be regarded as a devolution in Baptist ecclesiology, for it seems linked to a variety of deleterious ideas and practices that have been and are continuing to weaken and trouble Baptist church life. This threefold thesis will be developed in the three main sections of this paper, with each section devoted to one of the three aspects of the thesis. As the documentation will suggest, I am looking primarily at what has happened to Baptists in North America, particularly my own context of Southern Baptists. I do not know how applicable it will be to Baptists from other geographical contexts, but I believe it will have some relevance for most evangelical groups in the North American context, because the factors that affected Baptists were not completely unique to them.
