"Many of these national leaders live in impoverished countries and do not have the resources to attend the Congress. Your generous gift will make a difference in their lives," the BWA announcement read.
The centennial celebration, the first of its kind for the BWA, will bring together Baptists of all walks of life and all geographic regions, to reflect on the past and discuss future plans.
The 2005 gathering also marks the first Congress held after the Southern Baptist Convention voted to break ties with the BWA; prior to the break, the SBC provided nearly a third of the BWA’s financial base.
