| | COOPERATIVE BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP, BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE, AND THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION |
 | | The Baptist World Alliance is composed of many groups that are as liberal and apostate as the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. | | | It is hypocritical for the conservative Southern Baptist leaders to oppose the CBF while remaining in fellowship with the BWA. | | | On January 24, 2002, Denton Lotz, general secretary of the Baptist World Alliance, joined hands with Pope John Paul II and the leaders of many other denominations and 11 pagan religions at the third Day of Prayer for Peace at Assisi, Italy. |

| | FORT WORTH, Texas (BP)--Southern Baptist observers waiting each year to see if the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship will announce a separation from the denominational family may be wasting their time. | | | As members of the 11-year old Fellowship prepared to meet in Fort Worth for the annual assembly, leader Daniel Vestal told Baptist Press the question should be taken off the table since CBF has never been a part of the SBC. | | | CBF is also forging formal relationships with the Baptist General Association of Virginia and Baptist General Convention of Texas to facilitate church starting and other cooperative ministries, Vestal said. |

| | LIBERALISM IN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION |
| | In addition, the seminary is supported by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the Alliance of Baptists, and by Southern Baptist churches in North Carolina and the District of Columbia. | | | On one hand we are told by conservative Virginia Baptist leaders that the BGAV is rapidly departing from orthodox Christianity, but they refuse to actually separate from this apostasy and they allow churches affiliated with this apostasy to join hands with them in their new convention. | | | To illustrate the condition of the Southern Baptist schools in the 1970s, consider a survey that was taken in 1976 by a Master of Theology student at the Southern Theological Seminary, the oldest and most prominent of SBC seminaries. |

| | A Southern Baptist committee said the BWA had taken anti-American stances, had become tolerant of liberal theology, and had wrongly accepted the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, an American group that has been critical of the Southern Baptist Convention. | | | The Baptist World Alliance has no authority which is more of a fellowship or fraternity, with no authority. | | | And where both sides in the mainline denominations tend to agree that disagreements are between liberals and conservatives (though terms like "orthodox" and "fundamentalist" tend to be used more often in the debates), in the Baptist world there's still a major debate over what makes one a conservative evangelical. |

That takes explaining to church members who support unlisted missionaries: "Please be aware that this [missionary] directory is incomplete" is what CBF repeatedly tells contributors, he said. |
