 The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) was formed in 1991, largely by moderate Southern Baptists who had been disenfranchised by the concerted, well-orchestrated fundamentalist/conservative restructuring of the Southern Baptist Convention.CBF has been called a "quasi-denomination" since in many ways it provides many of the benefits of a convention, including ordination of women for ministry, but as yet has not declared itself a denomination.Its primary offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia.
