German Baptist Conference

Thousands of Old German Baptist Brethren gather near Baldwin City for an annual church conference.

Old German Baptist Brethren raise the dining tent on Thursday, May 8, 2008, south of Lawrence. The tent is one of many temporary structures recently erected on the Beeghley farm for this weekend's Old German Baptist Brethren Church Conference. The conference, which rotates across the brotherhood each year, was last held in Douglas County in 1970 on the Wayne Flory farm.
