	Russian Baptists and Military (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Baptist participation in OSROG lost most of its practical meaning when on 30 August 1921 the Commissariat of Justice issued a circular stating that courts could not grant exemption to men who became Baptists after 1919.(32) This prohibition was based on the suspicion that potential draftees used the Baptist congregations in order to evade conscription.
		The Baptist union rescinded their call for a congress on 8 July 1923 just before the Baptist delegation departed for the BWA congress.(40) The reason that the authorities withheld approval for a congress was suggested in September when the chief antireligious writer announced the price the Communists assessed for a congress.
		As long as the Baptists presented themselves as a pacifist sect, Ivanov-Klyshnikov asserted, they were 'in a completely impossible position with respect to society and the government.' In the interest of retaining for the Baptist union its freedom of activity it was necessary for the congress to reject pacifism forthrightly.

	Leaders predict SBC-backed network won't find acceptance in Europe : Friday, Aug. 12, 2005
		Baptist leaders in Europe predict the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) will have a hard time drawing Baptists from the continent into a new international network that, some say, will compete with the Baptist World Alliance (BWA).
		Several Baptist leaders in Europe agreed the SBC won't find many Baptists unions that will embrace the conservative agenda, since most unions - including the more conservative ones in the east - have long accepted theological diversity on the continent.
		Chapman, who was at the forefront of the SBC effort to withdraw from the Baptist World Alliance, declined to criticize BWA after the Poland meeting: "We pray God's blessings upon the BWA in any and all endeavors to proclaim the saving power of Jesus' death on the cross to an unbelieving world.

		But while many European Baptists are as conservative--or more so--than Southern Baptists, they are "very unlikely" to join the SBC's new network, said Bulgarian pastor Theo Angelov, outgoing general secretary of the European Baptist Federation.
