Cambodia Baptist Union

History

Although Baptist missions have been noted in Cambodia since at least 1953,[2] due to the turbulent contemporary history of Cambodia, the CBU was only organized in 1995 as the Khmer Baptist Convention.[3]

In 1994, the Baptists co-founded the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia (EFC) and in 1997, a Baptist Federation was created uniting churches that were planted by Southern Baptists and independent Baptists [4] and co-founded the Kampuchea Christian Council in August 1998.[5]

Affiliations

The CBU participates actively in ecumenical relationships through:

gollark: Oh. Hmm.
gollark: Wait, while I'm in the crocodile, I grab the macguffin, d6.
gollark: I ask the crocodile to unconsume me, 2d6.
gollark: OH BEE
gollark: I'm not sure how I managed that given that we just removed its teeth and skin and are trying to carry it out of a cavern.
