LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) announced a new partnership Oct. 5 with the National Baptist Convention of America International, Inc., (NCBA) seeking to build new bridges between predominantly black and white Baptist churches in the United States.
CBF Executive Coordinator Suzii Paynter and NBCA President Samuel C. Tolbert Jr. signed a memorandum of understanding at Simmons College in Louisville, Kentucky, “to begin a conversation that will foster deeper relationships,” according to a press release.
Potential areas of cooperation include social justice and advocacy awareness, the dismantling of racism in the U.S., disaster response and long-term recovery, alleviating poverty and supporting and equipping healthy churches. (BNG)
