Can you imagine your week without The Alabama Baptist newspaper or its digital counterparts? I can’t, and I’m so grateful we don’t have to thanks to your continued support, encouragement and engagement.
It’s such an honor to hold the reins during this current season — reins that are soaked and strengthened with 179 years of love, sweat and commitment from 12 other editors before me.
As far as the editors from the 20th and 21st centuries, I join in with what you’ve read and heard through the years from L.L. Gwaltney, Leon Macon, Hudson Baggett and Bob Terry — we couldn’t do what we do without the amazing gifts and talents shared by our faithful team members.

Teamwork essential
It takes a variety of staff working in and out of each aspect.
Some are writers, editors, fact checkers and producers. Others are designing pages, analyzing data, checking print quality and running the business side of things. Still, others are developing code, upgrading software, and managing databases, while some are communicating with callers, sharing about opportunities and problem solving.
All the roles intertwine at multiple junctures.
Watching how easily they move in sync with each other — building each other up, backing each other up and pivoting around every obstacle — is something to behold.
As individuals, they are committed followers of Jesus and deeply invested in their families, friends, churches and communities. As a group, they are working together to bring you the best of what is possible through the pages of The Alabama Baptist and our endless supply of online offerings.
