Baptists Together — the Baptist Union of Great Britain — is the principal Baptist denomination in England and Wales, with roots running back to the seventeenth-century English Baptist movement and formally organized in the nineteenth century. The Union holds local-church autonomy and no binding confession; its congregations range from conservative evangelical to broadly mainline, and since 2013 decisions on blessing same-sex relationships have been left to local churches, a pattern characteristic of its congregational polity. AskCredo places the Baptist Union in the C-tier as a confessionally mixed Baptist body whose institutional permissiveness on sexual ethics and biblical authority diverges substantially from its historic Particular Baptist heritage (1689 LBCF).
