So, even though I was a part of (the losing part of) the SBC from 1983-1993, I ALWAYS resented the way Southern Baptists seem to think they are the ONLY Baptists. I now belong to a church with Alliance of Baptists and American Baptist Connections. I work always to promote a global Baptist identity--one that is rooted in our origins in 17th C. Holland and England, but connects around the world--with many kinds of local flavor. As I said to Melissa Rogers on this same topic, I became a Baptist in Heidelberg, Germany.
