Advertising disclaimer

Noting that the advertisement in the June 10 issue for the General Assembly in Birmingham of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship carried the “Paid Advertising” disclaimer, the reader can arrive at one of only two obvious conclusions: 1. Either all the other advertisements were free or 2. Someone has deteriorating vertebrae.

Editor’s Note — For eight years, The Alabama Baptist has specified that advertisments for meetings sponsored by groups not affiliated with the Alabama Baptist State Convention or the Southern Baptist Convention will be marked with “paid advertisement.” This policy has applied to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the Alabama Baptist Conservatives and Mainstream Alabama.
