Defeated in votes, American Bapist conservatives organize: The Great Commission Network

Rebuffed at national meetings of American Baptists that declined to adopt tough stances against homosexuality, some conservative leaders will meet this month near Chicago to expand an alternate missionary organization. A leader of the fledgling Great Commission Network calls it a coalition of churches “committed to biblical integrity” and contends that they “are not trying to start another denomination.”

Critics say the campaign would divert funds from the American Baptist Churches in the USA.
