“Jennifer Cromack was combing through the American Baptist archive when she uncovered a slim box… Opening it, she found a scroll in pristine condition.

A closer look revealed the 5-foot-long document was a handwritten declaration titled ‘A Resolution and Protest Against Slavery,’ signed by 116 New England ministers in Boston and adopted March 2, 1847. Until its discovery… American Baptist officials worried the anti-slavery document had been lost forever.” https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/07/03/massachusetts-slavery-abolition-baptist-new-england-document

I recently learned that it was two years prior, in 1845, that the Southern Baptists separated from the Baptists “to uphold the institution of slavery”
