Roy Medley on the New Baptist Covenant

Roy Medley, Executive Director of the American Baptist Churches -- U.S.A., has an essay about his excitement for the New Baptist Covenant celebration that is published in the current issue of Mercer University's Baptist Studies Bulletin. Here are the opening paragraphs:

The North American Baptist Covenant is an exciting step forward in pan-Baptist cooperation in North America. As such, it is one more way in which Baptists of North America are cooperating in common mission, common ministry, and common witness.

Such cooperation will only serve to strengthen our witness for Christ within the world.
