    Equitable Global Access to Covid-19 Vaccinations BMS World Mission, the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Baptist Union of Wales and the Baptist Union of Scotland, together with the 241 member bodies of the Baptist World Alliance affirm that “in Jesus Christ all people are equal. We oppose all forms of racism, inequality and injustice and so will do all in our power to address and confront these sins.”1 We acknowledge the solidarity shared by millions of Baptists and non-Baptists alike in the face of the suffering caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. As we move into 2021, we also recognise our responsibility to participate in the solution to this crisis. We will do so by: • calling for the co-operation of governments to support co-ordinated mass vaccination systems and enhance access to vaccinations through aid and economic innovations. • urging Baptists, both in the UK and worldwide to participate in enabling global vaccination. • repudiating unhelpful narratives associated with mass vaccination and asking Baptists and all people of goodwill to do so as well. • issuing a clarion call for just access to Covid-19 vaccines globally – including five specific steps of justice necessary for equitable global access – and a shared solidarity in addressing this pandemic. Covid-19 has exposed inequality Inequality has been exposed in a multitude of ways during the Covid-19 pandemic. We have seen the lowest Human Development Index (HDI) countries struggle to address comprehensive testing and treatment of the virus, artificially masking its impact in many places.2 Stigma, failure to address other existing health concerns and economic regression have followed.

Current law serves as a valuable safeguard for the integrity of our charitable sector1 and campaign finance system. Religious leaders often use their pulpits to address the moral and political issues of the day. They also can, in their personal capacities and without the resources of their houses of worship, endorse and oppose political candidates. Houses of worship can engage in public debate on any issue, host candidate forums, engage in voter registration drives, encourage people to vote, help transport people to the polls and even, with a few boundaries, lobby on specific legislation and invite candidates to speak.

    Dreams of Al-Andalus; a Survey of the Illusive Pursuit of Religious Freedom in Spain

    Dreams of al-Andalus; A Survey of the Illusive Pursuit of Religious Freedom in Spain By Robert Edward Johnson Baptist World Alliance Seville, Spain July 10, 2002 © 2002 by the American Baptist Quarterly a publication of the American Baptist Historical Society, P.O. Box 851, Valley forge, PA 19482-0851. Around 1481, a local chronicler from Seville narrated a most incredible story centering around one of the city’s most prominent citizens, Diego de Susán. He was among Seville’s wealthiest and most influential citizens, a councilor in city government, and, perhaps most important, he was father to Susanna—the fermosa fembra (“beautiful maiden”). He was also a converso, and was connected with a group of city merchants and leaders, most of whom were conversos as well. All were opponents to Isabella’s government. According to this narration, Susán was at the heart of a plot to overthrow the work of the newly created Inquisition. He summoned a meeting of Seville’s power brokers and other rich and powerful men from the towns of Utrera and Carmona. These said to one another, ‘What do you think of them acting thus against us? Are we not the most propertied members of this city, and well loved by the people? Let us collect men together…’ And thus between them they allotted the raising of arms, men, money and other necessities. ‘And if they come to take us, we, together with armed men and the people will rise up and slay them and so be revenged on our enemies.’[1] The fly in the ointment of their plans was the fermosa fembra herself.

Stephens June 2, 1999 Honors Program Senior Project Dr. Mark Hulsether, Advisor Dr. Thomas Broadhead, Honors Program Director 1 In 1984 the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) passed the following resolution at its annual meeting. As this resolution proves, the gains ofwomen in SBC church leadership have not kept pace with the advances of women in the broader American culture in the aftermath of the women 's movement. This lack of symmetry is in large part the result of a conflict between progressivism and increasingly prevalent conservatism in society, politics, the broader religious landscape, and the SBC in particular.
  • 2020 Yearbook

    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.

  • PROGRESSIVE COVENANTALISTS AS REFORMED BAPTISTS Daniel Scheiderer

    PROGRESSIVE COVENANTALISTS AS REFORMED BAPTISTS Daniel Scheiderer

    WTJ 82 (2020): 137–52 PROGRESSIVE COVENANTALISTS AS REFORMED BAPTISTS Daniel Scheiderer At least three new systems of covenant theology have arisen in Calvinistic Baptist circles in recent decades: new covenant theology, progressive covenantalism, and 1689 Federalism (Reformed Baptists). Each group has its own proponents and its own circles of influence, but churches impacted by each proposal are generally familiar to one another. Because progressive covenantalists initially described themselves as a subset of new covenant theology, arguments against new covenant theology were often simply co-opted for use against progressive covenantalists. This article aims to demonstrate that progressive covenantalists have significant points of continuity with their Reformed Baptist brothers that facilitate mutual benefit between the two camps. To demonstrate this continuity, the cov- enants of works and grace and the new covenant are examined in the two systems alongside their Particular Baptist forefathers to show that all three groups operate with a basically continuous infrastructure. The benefit of such a study is that it distinguishes the progressive covenantal proposal from the proposal of new covenant theology while avoiding simplistic read- ings that deny the real differences between progressive covenantalists and Reformed Baptists. The study does not deny the real tension that exists in progressive covenantalists’ reinterpretation of the fourth commandment, but it sets aside that debate so that points of clear commonalities may be seen for what they are. Too often conversations about covenant theology have passed one another, and so this article aims to initiate a conversation between two groups that ought to be the nearest allies. “ rogressive covenantalism” broke onto the scene in 2012 with Peter Gentry and Stephen Wellum’s book Kingdom through Covenant.

    Reformed Baptists Progress in Colombia by Gordon Taylor “It’S Your Fault!” Said Manuel Cendales

    Winter 2014 Reformed Baptists progress in Colombia By Gordon Taylor “It’s your fault!” said Manuel Cendales. He was referring to the influence and teaching of Stan Line. Manuel, now committed to our 1689 Confession, used to be, by his own testimony, an extreme Pentecostal minister. Stan, who has labored for 50 years in Colombia, faithfully distributed Reformed literature to evangelical pastors over the years. In the case of Manuel it resulted in turning his ministry around. Now Manuel leads his church into the great truths of the The La Alborada congregation meets in Bogotá, Colombia. Christian faith.

    When Religion Makes the News Christianity in Wales 2016

    When Religion Makes the News Christianity in Wales 2016 Parch/Revd Gethin Rhys Swyddog Polisi’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol / National Assembly Policy Officer Produced by Cytûn at the request of NUJ Training Wales, the training arm of the National Union of Journalists in Wales (funded by Welsh Government) as a companion resource for When Religion Makes the News, Cardiff, 8th November 2016. Media Contacts for the denominations are on pages 13-15. Religion is a key element in many headline stories. The aim of this workshop was to provide training and resources for journalists working on mainstream stories that have religious elements. Introduction This paper presents some background information on Christianity in Wales in 2016, using statistical and other information. Its aim is to provide some starting points for journalistic research and enquiry; it is not by any means an exhaustive account. Religion in Wales The best statistical base for measuring the prevalence of religion in Wales is the 2011 census. Statistics Wales has produced an excellent summary here: http://gov.wales/docs/statistics/2015/151027-statistical- focus-religion-2011-census-en.pdf, which is essential reading. It shows that 57.6% of the population of Wales (about 1.8 million people)1 self-declared as Christian in answering the 2011 census questions – a fall from 71.9% 10 years previously. 32.1% said they had ‘no religion’ (almost a million people). These statistics are, however, limited in their usefulness, for the following reasons: • They are now five years old. More recent estimates based on survey evidence are difficult to compare directly with the census data, as they ask a different question, and are answered in different circumstances.
