World Baptists show grit in Britain: Alliance vigorous after SBC pullout

The World Baptist Alliance, holding its 100th anniversary congress in Great Britain amid public anxiety over suicide bombings, failed bombing attempts and manhunts, topped its own attendance prediction with more than 13,000 participants.

The every-five-years gathering was also expecting to be saddled with budget shortfalls after last year’s pullout by the Southern Baptist Convention, which claimed the BWA has a “leftward drift,” an accusation denied by alliance leaders.
