This site is dedicated to answering some of the hard
questions posed by Christians today. Since 1995 the Parsons Corner, Ask The
Preacher has been online answering many various questions about the beliefs,
history, polity, and convictions of the ancient brethren known as Baptists.
And this new site is your opportunity to pose more of those questions
interactively to a full staff of these brethren. Consider yourself a welcome
and honored guest here at the Old Pathways.
