- Title
Cracks in the Wall? Changing Attitudes toward the Separation of Church and State among Southern Baptists.
- Authors
Gaskins, Mark E.
- Abstract
The article discusses the perception of the Southern Baptist on the issue of the separation of the church and the state. "The Baptist Faith and Message," the official confession of faith of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), stated that the state owes to every church protection and full freedom in the pursuit of its spiritual ends. A 1964 resolution adopted by SBC appealed to the Congress to allow the First Amendment to stand as the guarantee of religious liberty.
