have you ever heard of the southern baptist convention?
I have heard of it, it is Christian denomination based in the United States. How familiar are you with it?
not at all. i didnt know what the word convention means here so i am clueless. was hoping you could help lol
Convention has multiple meanings, but in this case it is simply meaning "meeting". Think of it as if the Southern Baptist (group) are having a Convention (meeting). In this case I would also add that its a regular convention, not just a one time event.
ohh okay thank you so much. so what goes on in a southern baptist convention
It is one of the largest Baptist denominations in the world and is a convention that you should relate to what a Church does. It allows for a meeting of a group of people with the same beliefs to practice their religion and to have a community.
oh coool! so when did the southern baptist convention first start?
United States who split with northern Baptists over the issue of slavery, specifically whether Southern slave owners could serve as missionaries. After the American Civil War, another split occurred when most freedmen set up independent black congregations, regional associations, and state and national conventions, such as the National Baptist Convention, which became the second-largest Baptist convention by the end of the 19th century. 
Since the 1940s, the Southern Baptist Convention has shifted from some of its regional and historical identification. Especially since the late 20th century,
the place was near or far, or what manner of people they are, there was no place for which they did not wish a peaceful land and a prosperous existence. It is natural that when China is governed peacefully, foreign countries would come and submit (來附)”…I am anxious that, as you are secluded in your distant places, you have not yet heard of my will. Thus, I am sending envoys to go and instruct you, so that you will all know of this" (14 July 1370
