MAJOR miscategorization: source had 'Highland Park Baptist' — actually Church of God (Anderson). Name likely historical/legacy. Egalitarian denomination = red on gender. | [2026-04-30 denomination correction: Baptist (Other) -> Wesleyan / Nazarene; reason: Church of God (Anderson, IN), Wesleyan-holiness tradition, NOT Baptist]
