In July, about 3,000 Baptists from more than 80 nations gathered in Durban, South Africa, for the 21st Baptist World Congress. The Congress is held every 5 years by the Baptist World Alliance (BWA). Several Churchnet people attended the gathering since Churchnet is a member body of the BWA. Through Churchnet, you are connected to the global Baptist family.
This issue includes columns, photos, and videos from the Congress. Join us as we support our Baptist brothers and sisters around the world. As the BWA slogan declares, we have "one Lord, one faith, one baptism."
