	The Baptist Faith
		Baptists are radicals in the sense that they believe in returning to the roots of Christian faith (note that the English word 'radical' comes from the Latin word 'radix' which means root).
		In the 16th Century when the modern Baptist movement was born, this emphasis on personal faith was perceived as a threat to the state church, to which all were expected to belong, with or without faith.
		In 17th Century England, Baptists refused to conform and be members of the Church of England, arguing that Christ, and not the King (or Queen), was head of the church.
