Baptists Today was an autonomous national journal that provided news and information to Baptist church members and Baptist institutions. Originally named SBC Today, the Macon-based news journal was born amid the struggle between moderates and conservatives for control of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the country’s largest non-Catholic Christian denomination. In April 1983 a group of Baptists who felt the conservative leaders of the SBC were restricting access to information about the struggle founded the publication, which initially operated in office space donated by Oakhurst Baptist Church in Decatur.
