The Alabama Baptist is a weekly newspaper. It is the largest state Baptist paper in circulation. It is an entity of the Alabama Baptist State Convention owned by The Alabama Baptist, Inc., under leadership of a board of directors approved by messengers to the Alabama Baptist State Convention. On February 4, 1843, the first issue of The Alabama Baptist was printed in Marion, Alabama. The Association of Brethren appeared on the masthead as the owners and editors. The association was composed of Milo Parker Jewett, James H. DeVotie, Gen. Edwin Davis “E.D.” King and Julia Tarrant Barron. All were active members of Siloam Baptist Church in Marion and were financially able to secure the paper's future. That autumn, convention messengers adopted a resolution calling The Alabama Baptist the organ through which convention officers would communicate with the churches, and Baptists finally had a voice. The resolution “urgently” recommended the paper be placed in every Baptist home in the state, and it “warmly” commended the “energy and liberality” of those who started the paper. But the 1843 report of the Committee on Periodicals of the State Convention made it clear that the convention had no liabilities for what the independent paper published. More information...
