I am a Southern Baptist.  Most people think that means a baptist in the south, but that's not exactly what it means.  Do you know anything about the Southern Baptist denomination/?
I know they have conventions in New Orleans .. :)
Yes.  They have conventions all over.  There are more than 15 million members in this denomination.  It is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.  It is the second largest Christian denomination after Catholicism.
