Baptists/21st century

Question
Do you know if Baptists have any current issues or
problems in this 21st century?

Answer
Blessings and thank you for your question.

I don't believe that Baptists have any particular issue or problem in this century besides what is facing all of the church.  Apathy, declining numbers, and lack of vision are problems which face all of the church.  

Some Baptists (like the American Baptists) are fighting over issues such as abortion and homosexuality.  The more conservative, Southern Baptist Convention, is fighting over the issue of women in ministry.
