Also see . . . How one man started the Mississippi Baptist Convention. Mississippi Baptists organized a state convention in 1824 that failed. Internal discord and dissension from the anti-missions movement and teachings of Alexander Campbell resulted in the dissolution of this convention in 1829. As the Primitive Baptists and Disciples of Christ separated themselves from Mississippi Baptist churches, the mission-minded Baptists who remained were ready to try the experiment again. All they needed was a leader to galvanize them to action. (Robert C. Rogers; Mississippi Baptist Convention Board) (Submitted on April 2, 2024, by Duane and Tracy Marsteller of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.)
