Baptist General Association of Virginia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Baptist General Association of Virginia The Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) is an umbrella organization of Baptist churches founded in 1823.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Baptist General Association of Virginia )〕 The BGAV has been characterized as a moderate association.〔 〕 More than 1,400 Baptist churches affiliate with the BGAV. ==History of the BGAV== Baptists have been in Virginia since the American Revolution, but had not organized as cooperating churches, preferring the independence common among Baptists. Not until June 3, 1822 was a formal Association formed, and then only “To propagate the Gospel and advance the Redeemer's Kingdom throughout the State.” It also emphasized that the work would be done while “not infringing the rights of individuals or churches.” The BGAV emphasized missions from the beginning. At the first general meeting on June 7, 1823, the Association agreed to fund two church planting missionaries at $30 a month for two years. Technically the BGAV only meets once annually, and relies on the Virginia Baptist Mission Board (VBMB) to administer the missions and provide continuing support to participating churches.
