Founded in 1992, following 12 years of denominational infighting among Southern Baptists, the William Whitsitt Baptist Heritage Society was birthed by moderate Baptist historians concerned that fundamentalism endangered much of traditional Baptist heritage.  The Society publishes a Journal, meets annually during the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship General Assembly, and presents the annual Courage Award.

"Whitsitt, for whom
the Society is named,
was professor of
Church History and
President of the
Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary.
In 1899, he was driven
from office by
Landmarkism's
littleness and
narrow-mindedness."
– Walter B. Shurden
