Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

We American Baptists focus first and foremost on having an individual relationship with God, and firmly believe that that relationship is intensely personal and is not subject to church inquiry, scrutiny or forced observance . Furthermore, as you discovered, your personal life is personal, within the bounds of common decency and the law.

You're not alone in not having heard of us: we are much smaller than the SBC, who most people think synonymous with the word 'Baptist'. We are FAR more progressive and, as such, not very interesting to today's MSM.
