Radical Changes in Constitution Voted at Iowa Baptists Meet
In Waterloo delegates of the Iowa Baptists consider a sweeping constitutional revision described as the most radical church reform in state history. The report by Rev. J W Bailey, Rev. KR Sadler, and Rev. J W Graves prompts heated morning debate and could lead to a new constitution next year. The movement calls for higher salaries, more colleges and hospitals, redistricting, stricter ministerial standards, and a push to keep Baptist marriages within Iowa. The convention also criticizes secular politics and non Baptist churches as it seeks a transformative spiritual renewal.
