	Southern Baptist Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baptists in the South participated in forming the first national Baptist organization in 1814 - the General Missionary Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States of America for Foreign Missions (better known as the Baptist Board of Foreign Missions or the Triennial Convention; it met every three years).
		Baptist Press [11], the largest Christian news service in the country, was established by the SBC in 1946.
		The most notable of the controversies in SBC history is the "conservative/moderate" controversy of the late 1970's and 1980's, which is reported to be among the very few instances where the more conservative of two factions has managed to gain or maintain control of a mainline denomination.

		Meeting at their annual convention in Salt Lake City, 8000 plus -representatives of the sixteen-million member Southern Baptist church on June 9 amended their essential statement of beliefs to include the declaration that a woman should "submit herself graciously" to her husband's leadership.
		I wonder if there might have been added incentive to adopt the declaration because the convention was being held in the heart of Mormon country, where possessing male genitalia is all that's needed to qualify you for consideration as a leader.
		After all, the Southern Baptists are openly attempting to convert Mormons, and such an outright declaration of male domination just might sway those Mormons on the edge.
