As the world’s largest Baptist university, it only makes sense that Baylor would be a part of the Baptist World Alliance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The group, founded in 1905 and numbering more than 250 Baptist organizations across 134 countries and territories, officially welcomed Baylor as a full Member Partner<\/a> at its annual gathering earlier this month.\u00a0Among the Alliance’s members are the Baptist General Convention of Texas (with which Baylor will continue its longstanding relationship), two other Texas Baptist universities (Dallas Baptist and Howard Payne), and Baylor’s Truett Seminary (which was also approved as a full member this month).<\/p>\n

“We believe this relationship will help us continue to fulfill our mission to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service,” says Baylor President Linda Livingstone. “We look forward to collaborating and having the ability with the Baptist World Alliance to impact the world for Christ in even more significant ways in the future.”<\/p>\n

And that’s the BWA’s mission: “networking the Baptist family to impact the world for Christ.” That mission is carried out in a variety of ways, from ministry and prayer initiatives<\/a>, to worldwide evangelism<\/a>, to community aid, relief and development projects<\/a>, and support of human rights<\/a> (including religious freedom) around the globe.<\/p>\n
