	The Baptist in Bulgaria
		Baptists in the West first became aware of the Bulgarian field with the publication in 1880 of an article, 'The Macedonian Cry Re-Echoed from Macedonia Itself, in the German Baptist paper, Der Wahrheitszeuge, and the Quarterly Reporter of the German Baptist Mission.
		The failure of appeals of the Kazanlik Baptists was certainly not due to lack of sympathy or indifference on the part of the German Baptists.
		Unknown to the German Baptists or the Kazanlik believers, John (Ivan) G. Kargel (1849-1937), who had served the German Baptist congregation in St Petersburg from 1875 to 1880 and was at least partly of German parentage, decided in mid 1880, because of the Russian climate, to move to Bulgaria and settle in Ruse.

		While the International Mission Board (IMB) sold the Baptist hospital to the Jordanian government in 1987, Abbassi and the Jordan Baptist Convention continue to have a strong alliance with Southern Baptists and the IMB, as well as the European Baptist Federation and Baptist World Alliance.

	Find out about Baptists at Selsdon Baptist Church
		The Baptist family is one part of the non-conformist branch of the church, having their origin in the mid-sixteenth century.
		Baptists were given their name as a term of abuse because they believed that the Bible taught the baptism of those who were old enough to be real believers, and not the christening of infants.
		At the same time, Baptists have also believed that as part of our mission we have the responsibility to show Christian love and care in practical and social action towards those in need and those who are on the margins of society.

	[No title]
		Baptists do not agree on every detail of every doctrine, and there always has been room for debate and disagreement on some issues and on the nature of methods.
		But to suggest the BWA is unfaithful to the great doctrines of Baptist life or uncertain about the facts that Jesus is the way of salvation and the Bible is true and trustworthy and authoritative for Baptist life is simply false.
		World Baptists still desire a continued relationship with Southern Baptist churches, and Denton Lotz has made it clear that all Southern Baptists are welcome to come to the BWA centennial celebration in England in 2005.

		Texas Baptists have almost 60% as much money available to us as that available to the SBC whose total budget for 1999, including capital needs projects will be about $164 million — and our financial resources are six to seven times that of the CBF with a total budget for 1998-99 of $14.8 million.
		We could contract with Baptist university seminaries for the preparation of those pastors and church staff members we seek for various ministries at much less expense than would be incurred in establishing and operating a group of Baptist Convention of the Americas seminaries.
