The Southern Baptist Convention moved away from a plurality of elders in the early twentieth century. This project asserts that congregationalism without a plurality of elders is unbiblical and unhealthy. It shows that over time the Southern Baptist Convention removed a plurality of elders from its congregational polity and replaced them with a democratic process. The research shows revived interest in a plurality of elders among Southern Baptists. It seeks to encourage Southern Baptists to align their churches with the biblical mandate to have a plurality of elders in order to be more effective in the Great Commission.
