Herman Paul Pressler III — a former Texas judge, one of the leaders of the Conservative Resurgence in the SBC and who has been at the center of controversy regarding sexual abuse allegations in recent years — has died at 94.
Here are five things we did at this year’s SBC annual meeting …
Of 50 motions presented during the SBC Annual Meeting, one passed, seven were rejected, eight were ruled out of order and 33 were referred to various SBC entities or the Executive Committee.
In his first report to the SBC Annual Meeting as president of Gateway Seminary, Adam Groza said the seminary has experienced a year of transition, celebration and growth.
In a highly anticipated vote on the final day of this year’s SBC Annual Meeting, messengers narrowly defeated the proposed Law Amendment which specified that only men can serve “as any kind of pastor or elder as qualified by Scripture.”
Messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention passed a slate of recommendations June 11 related to how the convention deals with churches that no longer “closely identify with” the SBC in “faith and practice.”
Southern Baptist messengers approved the six recommendations presented by the Great Commission Resurgence Evaluation Task Force Tuesday (June 11) in Indianapolis, following the release of its report on May 12.
Messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting voted June 11 to disaffiliate with First Baptist Church Alexandria, Virginia, by a ballot vote of 6,759 (91.78 percent) to 563 (7.65 percent).
