For 4 weeks, join Herman Greene and Mike Hawkins in the Lounge for an hour-long discussion of what it means to be Baptist and the "Four Fragile Freedoms"
September 27 – Origins of Baptists in England and “Bible Freedom” (Jesus Christ
as revealed in scripture is our sole authority in faith and practice)
October 4 – History of Baptists in the United States and “Soul Freedom” (right to
personal faith journey without interference of creed, clergy, or government)
October 11 – Baptists Worldwide and “Church Freedom” (autonomy of local
congregations)
October 18 – Binkley’s affiliation with the American Baptist Churches USA and
Religious Freedom (freedom for, of, and from religion and separation of church)
and our connection to American Baptist Churches USA
