I'm not very religious myself, are you a religious person? Do you know anything about the Southern Baptist Convention?
Yes, The Southern Baptist Convention is a denomination of Christianity in the US
Is it one of the bigger denominations or is it just a small niche? I think I've heard of Southern Baptists before, not sure though.
It has more than 15 million members and is the largest Protestant denomination in the US
Wow I had no idea, do you know how it differs from some of the other Protestant denominations?
Originally, the Southern Baptists split from the Northern Baptists over the issue of slavery in 1845
Well that certainly was a dividing issue at the time, which side was opposed to slavery?
The northern Baptists believed that slave owners could not be missionaries
Well I'm glad they were against slavery it seems like, or maybe I'm confused.
Many Christian people were part of the abolition movement starting from the eighteenth century
