 | | The Southern Baptist Convention took another step toward severing ties with the Baptist World Alliance, a group of Baptist entities that it helped form 99 years ago, with a vote by the SBC executive committee. |
 | | The Baptist World Alliance, an association of more than 200 Baptist fellowships around the world, has been cited in previous Southern Baptist documents as accepting liberal theologies, expressing anti-American sentiments and being openly hostile to Southern Baptist representatives and beliefs. |
