- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship was formed in Atlanta in 1991 in response to the growing fundamentalism of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Baptist organization in the country. Often in partnership with other groups, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship provides moral and financial support for preaching, teaching, medical, and agricultural missionaries; thirteen theological schools; various publication ventures; a wide range of organizations exploring ethical and ecumenical issues; and numerous social service agencies. A national coordinating council of elected representatives from each state or geographic region loosely oversees the entire operation.
