Baptist shaped community – what it is and isn’t.

Posting today over at Scottish Baptist College. The second in a short series explaining the values that shape and define our ethos as a denominational theological College.

Today I am reflecting on Baptist-shaped community, taking seriously the content of what used to be a name of derision, a sarcastic nickname, "Baptist". What I describe there isn't intended to disenfrachise other Christian traditions, or claim that we are more right or less wrong than other Christians seeking to follow Christ in the way that answers to their own sense of call, identity and style of witness. But I am attempting to  explain that cluster of convictions which, taken together, create the parameters of Baptist witness and touch on key theological convictions and faith inspired practices.

    Thank you for these posts. Having spent the week so far at the BUGB Council south of the border I’m conscious that affirming and articulating some of the convictions that make us baptists is important if we are to make wise and informed choices.
