HIV/AIDS has been on the agenda of the Progressive National Baptist Convention for 20 years and of many state conventions in various National Baptist groups. The Lott Carey Baptists have also long addressed HIV/AIDS.<br/> To reduce "Black Baptists" to members of their largest convention is as big an error as the reduction of "Baptists" to Southern Baptists. I keep trying to get white Baptists from the South to think beyond the SBC and the post-SBC world of the CBF--and older than 1845, too.
