The redoubtable Jim West has linked in "Baptists on the Web" to an article on Ethics Daily "Oh What a Baptist Web We Weave". It is an interesting article, focusing on the American Southern US Baptist History and Heritage Society which might seem to suggest that across the globe Baptists only exist in the USA. I point him to the Baptist World Alliance where hundreds of non-US (and some American ;) Baptists communities celebrate their common alliegance to the historic denomination. Jim is usually (for an American) an internationalist, so I post this gentle reminder to keep him honest ;)
