Historical Data
The
term
"
Missionary
Baptist
"
originated
in the
early
1800's
during
the
rise
of the
modern
missions
movement
,
which
was a
movement
among
Baptists
(as
well
as
other
Christian
denominations)
to
organize
para-church
institutions
for the
promotion
and
funding
of
evangelism
,
Bible
and
literature
publication
,
schools
,
charitable
and
social
work
, and
other
religious
causes
. This
movement
created
extensive
controversy
among
Baptists
,
drawing
harsh
criticism
from those
who
considered
these
new
institutions
subversive
of
traditional
Baptist
polity
. Those
who
opposed
the
innovations
became
known
as
anti-missions
, and those
advocating
them as
missionary
Baptists
.
Many
of the "
missionary
Baptist
"
churches
and
associations
eventually
adopted
the
epithet
"
missionary
" into their
official
names
, and, what
started
as a
descriptive
term
became
a
new
religious
denomination
-
Missionary
Baptists
.
However
, the
name
never
became
universally
used
among
the
advocates
of the
missionary
institution
.
