Mega-Baptist convention comes to Atlanta

Four of the nation's largest black Baptist conventions are meeting in Atlanta today through Wednesday. The groups have an estimated combined membership of more than 10-million people. After the some ten-thousand delegates meet separately for convention business, they'll come together for discussion on disaster relief, evangelism, and addressing other social issues like HIV/AIDS and justice.

Another Baptist event later this week is the celebration of a New Baptist Covenant. As many as twenty-thousand baptists will attend the gathering Wednesday through Friday.

Both events are free and open to the public.
