For those of you who use the “Formations” curriculum published by Smyth & Helwys, you will see that this month’s unit focuses on Baptist Freedoms and the history of Baptist dissent.
To those fed up with organized religion, the words “baptist” and “freedom” might sound oxymoronic.
Historically, as a tradition that emerged amidst separatism and dissent, we realize that reconnecting with that spirit is one of the most important things we can do. Could the spirit of dissent be the very thing that allows us to emerge today?
I am running a series of podcast on my church’s website. I want to invite anyone interested to listen, but especially those of you teaching or participating in conversations on Sunday mornings related to the “Formations” curriculum. You can listen, think, and join the conversation on Baptist Freedoms here.

Baptist history is full of characters, charlatans, radicals, and activists. Here at Baptimergent, we’d love to know who your favorite Baptist historical personalities are. It may be someone through whom you trace your Baptists roots. It may be an entertaining character from our collective past who epitomizes Baptist craziness. Whoever it is, we’d love for you to share it.
