Southern Baptists Reject Offer on North American Fellowship
Southern Baptists today defeated a proposal to form a permanent tie with six Baptist groups, including the Northern Convention and two Negro denominations, by a written ballot 2,771 to 2,738 after a show of hands failed. Alabama messengers opposed the move, citing race as a factor, while Dr. Leon Macon voiced goodwill toward all races. The issue arose during the 150th anniversary observances as Northern Baptists pressed for world peace and multilateral disarmament.
