    ORLANDO, Fla. (BP) -- Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear has announced the members of the 2020 Committee on Resolutions for the June 9-10 SBC annual meeting in Orlando.

    "I believe our 2020 Resolutions Committee reflects the various interests and concerns of Southern Baptists," Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in the Raleigh-Durham, N.C., area, said. "They were chosen because they love Southern Baptists, are committed to sound doctrine, and demonstrate a desire for the Gospel to be above all. Each unequivocally affirms historic Baptist doctrine, including the inerrancy of God's Word, the exclusivity of Christ, and faithful complementarian convictions. I believe they will lead us toward unity and forward progress in the Great Commission." Read More
