===Modernist Controversy===

===Modernist Controversy===

This controversy originated initially in the Presbyterian denomination, but spilled over into the Southern Baptist ranks.  Pastors such as [[J. Frank Norris]] contended that Baptist universities (such as [[Baylor University]]) were teaching [[Modernism]] (a form of liberal Christianity which argued that "antiquated beliefs" needed to be discarded).  The ensuing result is that many churches (or large segments of churches) left the SBC.  Although some minor denominations were formed (such as the Texarkana, Texas-based [[American Baptist Association]]), the movement greatly spawned the modern-day [[Independent Baptist]] movement.
