This work contains 19,000 references to persons who were either
members of or connected to Baptist churches in Virginia. The

Bacher and Inskeep believe that mainline denominations serve as
caretakers of the important American expressions of Christianity,
and if they are weak or lost, society and the universal church will
be the worse for it. They argue that a fundamentally American form
of mainline denominationalism can and will endure, despite the
rumor of its decline. The authors examine six "rumors" of the
decline. Using historical trends and current statistical
information, they analyze the current situation and point to vital
lessons, potential problems, and key challenges. They also offer
helpful strategies and provide examples of what denominations are
doing that show potential.
