A Statement of Agreed Doctrine
Our Convention was formed in 1905-06 with the union of the Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces and the Free Christian Baptists of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Sharing many of the same concerns, the two bodies were brought together by their common interests.
The basis of union was a statement of agreed doctrine and church polity (http://www.baptist-atlantic.ca/node/15). Each church within the two bodies voted on the statement. Thus our Convention was brought into being upon an agreed statement of faith, which was approved by the churches themselves.
