One principle that has been around since the beginning of
Baptists and is still relevant today is the fact that a high amount of money
they raise goes towards missions. The First National Baptist Convention was
formed to help with international missions and Annie Armstrong led the Lottie
Moon offering early on. We still have things like this to go towards missions,
but now we have a huge amount of people and organizations raising money.
Another principle that we still have is the formations of
committees. In 1917 was the formation of an Executive Committee and in 1918 was
a formation of the Annuity Board. We still have things like this today. We have
pastor search committees or we have revival committees or a number of others.
They have always been formed to be the main people that organize things, get
things started, pray or prepare for things, and many other things.
