“We have one suggestion for Baptist Christians -- that they avoid words to describe evangelism (or telling the gospel story) which appear threatening to others, such as ‘evangelistic crusades.' Nor is it necessary to be critical of another faith in order to commend what we believe to be true in ours; the story of Jesus has power to persuade in its own right.” From a BWA letter The Baptist World Alliance was responding formally to a 2007 letter from Muslim leaders, which described love for God and love for neighbor as a common ground between Christianity and Islam.
