"I'll Fly Away"(#Roud 18437) is a hymn written in 1929 by #AlbertEBrumley and published in 1932 by the Hartford Music company in a collection titled Wonderful Message. Brumley's writing was influenced by the 1924 secular #ballad "#ThePrisonersSong". "#IllFlyAway" has been called the most recorded #gospel song. It is frequently used in worship services by #Baptists, #Pentecostals, #Nazarenes, the #ChurchesOfChrist and many Presbyterians and #Methodists.

"Black women holding the two highest offices in the [American Baptist Churches USA] denomination shows that American Baptists still read the Bible differently than Southern Baptists.

Yet, even though Southern Baptists are fewer than half of all Baptists in the U.S., you’d never guess that by the news coverage."

"Although the Civil War officially ended the issue of slavery, the differences among Christians as represented by the North-South split among Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians in the 19th century haven’t gone away. American and Southern Baptists still read the Bible differently."

Baptist pastor says gay preachers 'should get a bullet in their brain'

Dillon Awes said two gay pastors and the church official who hosted them should "get the death penalty, not be preaching behind the pulpit.”

Had I any idea what #Baptists get up to I'd have turned my back on religion in the womb instead of waiting until I was 14. https://baptistnews.com/article/what-happened-when-mark-driscoll-and-josh-howerton-showed-up-at-the-stronger-mens-conference-this-weekend/?fbclid=IwAR3suc6kVfQiz2BCPcyHnXPOKujQUXbT86f1W9K1fhb1F5HrQ6Dsy_IhiPE

"Just like back in the day" - a Southern Plantation run by #Baptists

William Harry Harris was an Analytic Chemist and Dispensing Chemist (Pharmacy). He worked in Gold Street Northampton, Long Buckby Wharf, and Bombay/Mumbai, India

He had close family connections with the #Baptists at College Street, Northampton sadly his life ended prematurely in tragedy.

So here's a 'double-bill', the story of William Harry Harris of Gold Street, #Northampton https://edintone.com/wm_h_harris/
and his analysis of the water supply in Northampton in the 1860s.

#Russia #Expropriates Property of #Protestant, other, #Churches in #Ukraine:

"The #occupiers took over the premises of the community of the local #church of #Evangelical #Christian #Baptists in one of the cities on the TOT. Even during the war, the aforementioned community engaged in volunteering, in particular helping #refugees from #Mariupol.

Now the Russians are setting up another #military facility there.

It is worth noting that this policy of #oppressing other #denominations is aimed at TOT and applies to all churches, except for the pocket Russian Orthodox Church, which is controlled by the #Kremlin."

I identify as a #NonTheist in that I don't #Believe in #Deity in the sense of having #Faith.

Deity exists because people say so.

It's been several decades since I took a philosophy of religion course, though I remember that "belief" doesn't really define religion as much as practices do. Think of the spectrum of #Christianity - #Amish, #Orthodox. #Baptists, #JehovasWitnesses, and others.
They all believe in #Jesus
