- Abstract
The article focuses on the issue of racial segregation. Baptists seemed drawn into debates on social policy. In the minds of many Baptists, racial segregation was a social condition, not a social sin. To view one race as permanently separated from another never obtained the label of racism rather, it remained a matter of common sense. In the end, the efforts of the progressives to promote integration did not break with the character of basic Baptist beliefs or practice. The progressives simply considered segregation a sin, while the segregationists and moderates did not.
