Georgia Baptists Debate Withdrawing Fellowship Over Immersion
L Hillyer, a Georgia Baptist minister, argues Mountain Association lacks authority to withdraw fellowship from Tabernacle Baptist Church over its practice of immersion. He says such action would force the association to sever ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, risking broader church governance and missions. The debate centers on whether the association can compel churches to abandon or join affiliations and carry potential constitutional implications.

Court hearing Oliveros case in Savannah Georgia
The trial of J B Oliveros former cashier of the Atlantic Coast Line at Savannah opened in the superior court on July 27. Prosecutors expect a conclusion tomorrow.
