America's Baptists Search for Racial Unity
Leaders of the nation's two largest Baptist denominations gathered in Mississippi for a summit centered on racial unity and reconciliation.
Sponsored by Mission Mississippi, the Wednesday event featured Southern Baptist Convention President Ronnie Floyd and National Baptist Convention, USA President Jerry Young.
NBC, USA is a historically African-American denomination and the SBC was originally founded by pro-slavery whites.
During an interview with The Christian Post, Floyd spoke about not only the Mission Mississippi event but being involved alongside Young with an event titled "A National Conversation on Racial Unity."
