Why would a Baptist be heavily involved in an interfaith organization? Aren’t we known for our unreserved advocacy and commitment to Christian conversion? Shouldn’t our energies be focused on the advancement of gospel sharing? Is cooperation with other faiths a form of endorsement to their claims of spiritual legitimacy?
These are the sorts of questions I have received in various forms from others when encouraging their involvement in the Interfaith Alliance of the Bluegrass (TIABG), where I serve as corresponding secretary.
