  • 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.

UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS PREFACE Bolivia was the last country of South America in which Protestant Christianity was established, with permanent Protestant activity not being initiated until 1898. The geographical isolation as well as the religious situation were important among other factors in making Bolivia a difficult missionary challenge to Protestant missions. The present study attempts to examine the mission theory and practice of the mission agencies, and the churches growing from their work, that primarily were responsible for the introduction and develop­ ment of Protestantism in Bolivia. These groups are the Canadian Baptist Mission, The Methodist Church (U.S.A.) and the Bolivian Indian Mission. Although a number of other Protestant agencies have been at work in Bolivia in recent years, the three Missions under consideration are the oldest and most established and the present writer makes the assumption in this study that they represent most clearly the activity and influence of Protestant Christianity.
