In his sermon, The Risk of Majority Faith, C. Douglas Weaver reflects on the tension between religious liberty and majority faith groups, particularly Baptists. Weaver recounts historical examples of persecuted Baptists who championed religious freedom, such as Roger Williams and Obadiah Holmes, contrasting their struggles with the present-day comfort of Baptists as a majority. He warns that when religious groups hold majority power, they risk becoming oppressors, enforcing religious conformity. Weaver urges contemporary Baptists to remember their heritage of dissent and uphold religious liberty for all, especially minorities, as a fundamental Christian principle.
