Continental Baptist Churches
The roots of this movement are in the Baptist Reformation Review, founded by Norbert Ward at Nashville, Tennessee, in 1972, and the Sword and the Trowel, edited by Ron McKinney of Dallas, Texas.Through this form of exchange, it became clear that this "Dallas" group held different understandings, especially in the area of Covenant Theology, from those espoused by northeastern Reformed Baptists led by Walter Chantry and Albert N. Martin.Continental Baptist Churches accept the First London Confession of Faith (1646 edition) as a general expression of their beliefs.A periodical called Kindred Minds is the official publication of Continental Baptist Churches.Membership is open to any Baptist church "on the North American continent which subscribes to the Constitution and Articles of Faith of the Association."
