While looking up some history of the Domestic Missions Board, I came across this resolution from the 1855 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting.
Resolution On Missions (May 1855): RESOLVED, That the Board of Domestic Missions be instructed to occupy Kansas, as a field of missions as soon as practicable.
This immediately brought to mind Bleeding Kansas and the boarder wars over slavery in Kansas Territory. Does anybody know the rest of the story?
