SOUTHERN BAPTISTS SAY "NO"
The Southern Baptist Convention has declined an invitation to join Christian Churches Together (CCT) -- the new collaborative of Protestant, Evangelical, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox churches in the US.

"For the most part, we don't do ecumenism because you usually have to give up some doctrinal beliefs or ignore or emphasize others to work with folks that really aren't on the same path, share the same doctrines, the same beliefs - particularly about salvation," said Martin King, a spokesman for the Southern Baptists' North American Mission Board.

Read the CCT organizational statement for yourself. What might they really have to give up to participate? (Other than sectarian isolation)
