Southern Baptists Organizing for Dominion in Europe
Organizing the conference for European Fundamentalists is Paul Negrut, a minister at Second Baptist Church of Oradea. Second Baptist Oradea, a European megachurch with several thousand members, is the largest Baptist church in Romania and the second largest Baptist church in Europe. Romania has the largest percentage of Baptists per capita of any country in Europe. Negrut is serving his final year as the President of the Baptist Union (BU) of Romania. He has been a critic of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) and a strong supporter of strengthening ties with the SBC. Last year, he unsuccessfully proposed that the Romanian BU should reconsider its links with the BWA after the SBC withdrew from BWA. There is little doubt that the SBC is sending some of it's heavy-weights into Romania to attempt to weaken the BWA and organize a world-wide Baptist body under SBC control. Last summer Negrut organized a similar meeting between SBC leaders and European Fundamentalists in Warsaw, Poland but that meeting proved unproductive.
