One of the recurring themes in Baptist life since The Beginning of Time is schism. This is not news. The famed Roger Williams is often cited as the founder of the very first Baptist congregation in the United States...and was promptly kicked out after only a brief tenure, founded another church, and, if I remember correctly, split from that one to form another community that met in his house for worship and study. It's in our genes. What can I say?
