Wright, pastor of the Atlanta-area Johnson

committee in keeping with the provision in SBC

Bylaw 20 that its members be named 75 days prior to the start of the annual

meeting.

The committee’s composition, according to Bylaw 20, must include at least two

members who served the previous year, with Jimenez and Moore meeting this

requirement. Bylaw 20 also stipulates that the committee include at least three

SBC Executive Committee members. This year

they are Blume, Howell and Yarber.

The procedure for submitting resolutions is as follows according to Bylaw 20:

  • Proposed resolutions may be submitted as early as April 15 but no later than 15

    days prior to the SBC annual meeting, giving

    the Resolutions Committee a two-week period in which to consider submissions.

    Resolutions may no longer be submitted during the annual meeting.

  • Proposed resolutions must be accompanied by a letter from a church qualified to

    send a messenger to the SBC annual meeting

    certifying that the individual submitting the resolution is a member in good

    standing.

  • Proposed resolutions preferably should be submitted by e-mail or mailed to the

    Resolutions Committee in care of the SBC

    Executive Committee, 901 Commerce St., Nashville,

    TN 37203.

    The drafts must be typewritten, titled, dated and include complete contact

    information for the person and his or her church.

  • No person will be allowed to submit more than three resolutions per year.
  • If a properly submitted resolution is not forwarded by the Resolutions

    Committee to the SBC annual meeting, a

    two-thirds vote of messengers would be required to bring the proposed

    resolution to the convention floor.
