Baptists Stories

Set in the turbulent sixties of Vietnam, the Summer of Love, Watts riot, and the Beatles, "Dancing with Baptists" is the story of Greg Henderson, Jr., a young Air Force surgical tech. When Greg makes a promise to Chap, his dying Black chaplain friend, to get Chap's book, a history of bigotry and discrimination by Southern Baptists toward African Americans, published, all hell breaks loose. Greg returns to Houston, his Baptist roots, and Melinda, his very Baptist high school sweetheart, with the challenge to keep a promise that could cost him everything and critically wound the church of his youth. The dance begins.

A study of the anti-cult movement in Latvia as an instrument of political pressure. The author reveals how, under the guise of protection from "destructive cults," religious freedom is restricted, pseudoscientific methods are used, and ties with Russian structures are established. Using the example of a small country, the mechanisms of turning spiritual security into a means of control over society are demonstrated.
