	Baptist Union of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baptist Union of Scotland is an association serving the Baptist churches of Scotland.
		Baptists first arrived in Scotland in the 1650s, but their opposition to Oliver Cromwell, as well as stiff opposition to the Baptists by the Reformers and the Scottish Parliament, brought about their demise.
		The Baptist Union of Scotland was founded in 1869 by 51 Churches, comprising about 3,500 members.

		The Baptist Union of Wales received the least attention with only a handful of references, mainly to the movement of ministers between Scotland and Wales; but there was also an article in 1906 on the Welsh Revival's impact on the statistics of the Baptist churches in that land.

	The Baptist Faith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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.

		In The Search for a Common Identity: The Origins of the Baptist Union of Scotland 1800-1870, Brian R. Talbot tackles the simultaneously formidable and stimulating task of tracing the development of Baptist unity in Scotland in spite of years of strained relationships and mistrust among different Baptist groups.
		While there was a Baptist presence in Scotland as early as the seventeenth century, Talbot focuses his attention on the nineteenth century when several distinct Baptist groups came into being.
		In the end, Talbot argues that the convergence of several factors led to the Baptist Union of Scotland in 1869.

	THE BAPTIST STUDIES BULLETIN
		Baptists have formed associations at many levels, and it is perhaps their value as vehicles for greater and higher quality mission that keeps these connections going.
		One Baptist colleague tells me that, at the local level, her congregation is open to hearing Sunday sermons from persons of other denominations and that her church is not atypical.
		In short, these booklets are suitable for the Baptist family in general–clergy and laity, individuals and groups, churches large and small–and serve to challenge Baptists in modern America to eschew the troubling winds of religious legalism and secular seduction while reclaiming and re-imaging a biblical Baptist heritage rooted in the free church tradition.

	Baptists and Freemasonry
		However, there were those who felt sufficiently strongly about the question to continue to press the Council for firmer action, and at the Council meeting of January 1987 it was agreed to appoint a group to study the relationship between Freemasonry and Christianity and to publish their findings in the form of a Viewpoint booklet.
		Although the Grand Lodge of Scotland regulates Freemasonry only within the first three degrees, the questions raised are still implicit in the movement as a whole.
		We were grateful for the comments of a member of an English Baptist church who is a Mason, on the areas of concern we raised with him.
