Introduction
 "The Fellowship of Baptist Historians was formed
in 2000 in Savannah, Georgia, during the annual meeting of the Baptist
History and Heritage Society. The Fellowship was formed by members of the
Society in order to provide Baptist historians or other professional
historians who have an interest in Baptist history with opportunities for
fellowship and promotion of Baptist history through informal conversations
as well as for academic gatherings.
If you are an academician or professional historian with an interest in
Baptist history, you are cordially invited to join the Fellowship of Baptist
Historians. To join, simply contact Mike Williams, secretary of the
Fellowship, at mikew@dbu.edu. Currently,
no dues are required for membership."

Article II
Purpose
The Fellowship of Baptist Historians shall serve as an auxiliary to the

Article III

Any academician or professional historian with an interest in Baptist
history is eligible for membership in the Fellowship. All qualified members

incapacity, assist in planning the program for the annual meeting and in
case of the death or resignation of the president shall assume the duties of
that office.

Upon completion of the president’s term, the vice president from the
