Baptist Distinctives

Welcome to baptistdistinctives.org!

We trust that you will find information here helpful as you seek to understand Baptists better…beliefs, polity, ministries, practices, organizations, and heritage. We have tried to make the information useful for Baptists and non-Baptists alike.

In a sense this website is under continuous construction. Every two weeks during 2005 a new article will be placed on the website about some aspect of Baptist life. Along with the article will be resources on that particular topic. These resources are intended to provide information for further study but they are not intended as an endorsement in any way of the resources.

Furthermore, the website contains listings of sources and materials for further information in general about Baptists in addition to the information regarding specific articles. We will be adding new information to these general listings in hopes of making the website more and more useful and interesting. However, as with the listings of information on specific topics these listings for general information are intended to provide help for further study but they are not intended as an endorsement in any way of the sources or resources listed.

This website is a collaborative effort of Bill Pinson and Doris Tinker, the persons who prepared the articles and the information for the website, with the staff of the Baptist Standard.

We have sought insights from a wide variety of persons both on the content of this website and on the delivery of the contents through this particular medium. We welcome suggestions for improvement.
