In an op-ed, the Baptist Joint Committee's K. Hollyn Hollman urges Baptists to remember our heritage, and to protect our legacy of religious liberty actively.
Baptists who claim our religious-liberty legacy with pride should be careful not to take freedom for granted. If we fail to exercise our freedom responsibly or lose sight of the importance of having a government that is neutral toward religion, we can hardly claim the mantle of those Baptist heroes whose stories we love to tell.
In disputes over the relationship between the government and religion today, there remains a significant need for those who are willing to speak truth to power with the conviction of historic Baptists.
