GCR Evaluation Task Force releases six recommendations

The Great Commission Resurgence Evaluation Task Force announced six recommendations on Monday (June 3), following the release of its final report three weeks ago.

Last year, Southern Baptist Convention messengers in New Orleans approved the formation of a group to study the success of the GCR Task Force, which presented seven recommendations in 2010. Related to the evaluation report, SBC messengers will vote on the latest recommendations in Indianapolis during the annual meeting (June 11–12).

The overall consensus in the latest report is that the GCRTF did not accomplish its goal of reversing the decline in baptisms in the SBC. “The answer is a clear and decisive, No,” the evaluation report noted. The answer to who is responsible, though, is more complicated.

The full report is available at tbponline.org/GCRreport.
