Peteris Sprogis was elected Bishop (President) of the Union of Baptist Churches in Latvia in 2006. He soon became keenly aware of the issues facing his denomination and society.
“It would have been easy for the Baptists to continue living our comfortable denominational life,” he said. “However, it did not take a prophet to see that, if we continued in the same manner, we did not have any future. What was needed was a daring recognition of problems and a vision worth for me and others to live and die for. None of us would be ready to live and die for maintenance of a denominational system. We all want to live for something that is worth dying for.”
