They have carried believers' baptism and the priesthood of every believer to more of the world than almost anyone — and the Black Baptist church has repeatedly been the conscience of the whole nation.

Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and more than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor. A scattered parish is still a parish.
