Pitts, Bill
- Abstract
The article assesses the recruiting role of the Baylor Volunteer Foreign Mission Band, formed by Baptist students at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, for Baptist missions by examining its origins and purpose, activities, relationship to the bigger missionary movement and student character. It notes that Bill Estep, historian of Southern Baptist foreign missions, acknowledged that defending slavery was useful in forming the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), but also affirmed that the missionary spirit was the breath of life of the convention.
