 | | The Baptist World Alliance has relocated from old offices in McLean, Va., to a new building in another Washington suburb, Falls Church, Va. The new address for headquarters of the international organization of Baptist unions and conventions is 406 N. Washington Street, Falls Church, Va. 22046. |
 | | The church, funded with matching grants of $250,000 over two years by NAMB and Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., hopes to be self-sustaining, which would require between 350 and 400 people, before its funding ends in June 2002. |
 | | Carl Weiser, a pastor from Lynchburg, Va., was defeated on a 17-9 vote by Conrad "Buster" Brown, pastor of East Cooper Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant, S.C. Weiser served two years as chairman, during a period in which the board fired President Mark Coppenger, dealt with irregularities in enrollment reporting and hired a new president. |
