Enrichment Notes

Note distinction: this is 'First Baptist Church of Christ' (FBCX), the progressive congregation at 511 High Pl — not First Baptist Church at 511 Poplar St which is the other historic Macon FBC. Both are historically dual-aligned; FBCX is the more progressive of the two. | URL research: First Baptist Church of Christ Macon at 511 High Pl matches verbatim; Cooperative Baptist Fellowship not SBC
