FreePress-FreeSpeech Banner Home 3rd° Tour Site Index News Room ... Links Baptists and Freemasonry Published by the Baptist Union of Scotland and endorsed by the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland THE QUESTION RAISED For several years past certain members of our churches have expressed disquiet concerning the relationship between Freemasonry and Christianity and the possible influence of the movement within some churches. The matter has been raised on several occasions in recent Assemblies and has been the subject of correspondence in the Scottish Baptist Magazine. Although we have little direct evidence that this constitutes as serious and widespread problem in Scottish Baptist Churches, the Council considered the matter carefully and originally agreed that the Doctrine and Inter-Church Relations core groups should review available literature and compile a document directing churches to sources of information, where it was felt guidance was needed. However, there were those who felt sufficiently strongly about the question to continue to press the Council for firmer action, and at the Council meeting of January 1987 it was agreed to appoint a group to study the relationship between Freemasonry and Christianity and to publish their findings in the form of a Viewpoint booklet. They do this in the conviction that our people need clear guidance in this area.

One Day a Week Degree Open Learning College based Degree ... Course Fees Equipped to Minister A brand new course at Spurgeon's College in conjunction with the Baptist Union of Great Britain for members of local churches, especially preachers and lay-pastors. Course Directors: Dr Nigel Wright and Roy Boyer C.Phys, MinstP, M.Ed. The Baptist Training Partnership is a consortium of Association and College initiatives sponsored by the Baptist Union of Great Britain and set up to offer training for members of local churches. As part of its contribution to the Partnership, Spurgeon's College has designed a course aimed primarily at equipping church members to preach and to pastor in local churches. The course follows a curriculum jointly agreed by all the Baptist Colleges and the Baptist Union. It is therefore acceptable to the Union, when also subject to satisfactory Association ministerial recognition outcomes, as a track of training for those seeking Union recognition as preachers or lay-pastors. Equipped to Minister is offered in the first instance to the churches of the Eastern Baptist Association, the London Baptist Association and the South East Baptist Partnership and takes place at Spurgeon's College on selected Saturdays throughout the year. Tutors are staff or associate staff of Spurgeon's College.

Back to English Speaking Protestantism Baptist Church Doctrines Baptists do not have any creeds or confessions of faith which have binding authority. However, there are six underlying principles which govern Baptist belief. The Bible alone is a sufficient and authoritative guide to faith. Baptism is only undertaken by believers accompanied by a profession of faith. Only convinced Christians should belong to the church. Each member of the church has equal say in the running of the church, and, therefore, the minister does not have any special priestly authority. Each local church is autonomous. Church and state are separate. Behind this principle lies the belief that the state should guarantee freedom of belief. History The Baptist church grew steadily during the first half of the17th century. However, the restoration of the British monarchy in 1660 led to renewed persecution of dissenting churches. During this time the Baptist preacher John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, spent 12 years in prison. The 18th century saw renewed growth in the church. In 1792 the English Baptist Missionary Society was organised under the leadership of William Carey, planting Baptist churches in India and other parts of Asia.

Resources Home Spring Harvest Shop Youthwork the Resources are a series of books published in partnership with Authentic Media - the series editors are Danny Brierley (Oasis Youth Action) and John Buckeridge (Youthwork Magazine). There are three types of books: Developing Practice titles are designed for all those engaged in youth work and ministry. They are sometimes inspirational, always practical, but never overtly theoretical. They draw upon best practice in an accessible and practical style. GROWING COMMUNITY - Making Groups work with young people Danny Brierley Groups come in a range of shapes and sizes but they all have one thing in common: they seek to provide an intimate environment that treats people as individuals, not just as members of a crowd. Young people are not all the same. Working in small groups ensures their voice is heard and their needs met. Small groups promote young peoples participation, development and learning. Unlike many other models, small groups and cells are equally applicable in small and bid youth ministries. Whether you are working with six or sixty-six young people, the principles and skills remain the same.

July 7, 2005 American Baptist International Ministries To: Dr. David Coffey, General Secretary Baptist Union of Great Britain Baptist House P.O. Box 44 129 Brodaway Didcot, Oxfordshire OX11 8RT England July 7, 2005 Dear David, We have been shocked and saddened upon hearing of the terrorist bombings this morning in London and offer our deepest sympathy to the families of all those who were killed or injured in these attacks. Please know that we are holding the people of London and all of the UK in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that God will give you comfort, strength, integrity and perseverance. We are aware that an Islamist website claims that al-Qaeda is responsible for the attacks. We agree with Prime Minister Tony Blair's statement that the vast and overwhelming majority of Muslims in Britain and elsewhere are decent and law-abiding people who abhor such acts of violence. We know that the Muslim Council of Britain and other British Islamic groups have condemned the attacks and urged Muslims to help in the recovery effort. You will also want to know that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) based in Washington, D.C. has called the violence "barbaric crimes that can never be justified or excused." CAIR went on to offer their sincere condolences and to call for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators. We are calling upon our local American Baptist churches to uphold you in prayer and to stand with you in solidarity. May the Spirit of God empower the Baptist Union of Great Britain in giving care, seeking justice, protecting the innocent, and leading others into the fullness of God's love through the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.
