RESOLUTION 1: BAPTIST UNITY AND MAINTAINING OUR PUBLIC WITNESS WHEREAS, The Scriptures charge the Church to “walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:1–3); and

WHEREAS, The Scriptures likewise command the church to “be like-minded and sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble” (1 Peter 3:8); and

WHEREAS, Our utmost devotion and supreme allegiance—including, but not limited to, political, cultural, ethical, and societal allegiance— should be to the kingdom of God and not the kingdoms of men (Joshua 24:15; Matthew 6:24, 33); and

WHEREAS, The Church’s mission, as defined by the Great Commission, is to spread the gospel and make disciples (Matthew 28:18–20); and

WHEREAS, The Christian’s public witness is of utmost importance for the sake of Christ and His gospel (1 Timothy 3:2, 4:12; Titus 1:5-7); now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, June 15–16, 2021, pursue holiness, act with the aim of love, engage others with charity, and consider one another in how we represent ourselves, our churches, our Convention, and, above all, the gospel of Christ in our speech and conduct at all times and in all places; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we will not permit our personal, social, theological, or political interests to supersede the urgency of evangelism and distract us from the task of the gospel’s advancement through the whole world; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we exhibit Christ-honoring patience and kindness upon those with whom we disagree; and be it finally

RESOLVED, That we protect the witness of Jesus Christ before a watching world by wise use of all forms of communication, whether in verbal speech, written word, or social media, so that others may see Christ in us and desire to know Him personally.

(resolutions continue on next page) Tuesday, June 15, 2021 SBC BULLETIN Page 7 RESOLUTION 2: ON THE SUFFICIENCY OF SCRIPTURE FOR RACE AND RACIAL RECONCILIATION WHEREAS, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17); and

WHEREAS, The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 states, “All Scripture is totally true and trustworthy” (Article I); and

WHEREAS, “God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27); and

WHEREAS, “From one man [God] has made every nationality to live over the whole earth” (Acts 17:26); and

WHEREAS, In his prophetic vision John saw “a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb” (Revelation 7:9-10); and

WHEREAS, “Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12); and

WHEREAS, “Through faith [we] are all sons of God in Christ Jesus … There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; since you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26-28); and

WHEREAS, “God … has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18); and

WHEREAS, The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 states, “Christians should oppose racism” (Article XV); now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, June 15–16, 2021, affirm the sufficiency of Scripture on race and racial reconciliation; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we reaffirm our agreement with historic, biblically-faithful Southern Baptist condemnations of racism in all forms; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we reject any theory or that finds the ultimate identity of human beings in ethnicity or in any other group dynamic; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we reject any theory or worldview that sees the primary problem of humanity as anything other than sin against God and the ultimate solution as anything other than redemption found only in Christ; and be it further

RESOLVED, We, therefore, reject any theory or worldview that denies that racism, oppression, or discrimination is rooted, ultimately, in anything other than sin; and be it further

RESOLVED, That, understanding we live in a fallen world, we reaffirm the 1995 Resolution On Racial Reconciliation On The 150th Anniversary Of The Southern Baptist Convention, which includes, “That we apologize to all African-Americans for condoning and/or perpetuating individual and systemic racism in our lifetime; and we genuinely repent of racism of which we have been guilty, whether consciously (Psalm 19:13) or unconsciously (Leviticus 4:27),” applying this disposition to every instance of racism; and be it finally

RESOLVED, We affirm that our reconciliation in Christ gives us the opportunity and responsibility to pursue reconciliation with others so that we can display and share the hope of the gospel with the world.

(resolutions continue on next page) Page 8 SBC BULLETIN Tuesday, June 15, 2021 RESOLUTION 3: ON TAXPAYER COMPLICITY IN AND THE HYDE AMENDMENT WHEREAS, The Bible clearly and unequivocally affirms the sanctity of every human life made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27; 9:6), a truth to which Christians in every century have testified and are called to bear witness in every age and in every sphere of life; and

WHEREAS, Southern Baptists have historically affirmed biblical teaching regarding the sanctity of human life by supporting and funding pro-life initiatives and by adopting numerous pro-life resolutions at national, state, and associational meetings; and

WHEREAS, Since 1973 more than 60 million unborn children have had their lives tragically ended through the evil genocide of abortion as a result of the Supreme Court’s morally repugnant and unconstitutional ruling in Roe v. Wade; and

WHEREAS, The bipartisan, nearly half-century-old Hyde Amendment, enacted in 1976 and reinstated by every administration since, has heretofore prevented financial complicity in the sin of abortion by preventing federal tax dollars from paying for or for health benefits that include coverage of abortion; and

WHEREAS, The Hyde Amendment has saved more than an estimated 2 million lives since its enactment and enjoys broad support from the American public; and

WHEREAS, Congress has consistently passed a wide range of Hyde-like amendments that protect taxpayer funds from being used for abortions in other federal programs (the Dornan and Smith Amendments), in international aid (the Helms, Siljander, and Tiahrt Amendments), in research (the Dickey-Wicker Amendment), and for medical providers and others who object to abortion (the Hyde-Weldon and Nickles Amendments); and

WHEREAS, The current administration has proposed eliminating the Hyde Amendment in its budget proposal, thus advocating to make taxpayer money available to fund abortion procedures; and

WHEREAS, Any party platform that explicitly calls for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment evidences a wanton disregard for human dignity and a culture of life; and

WHEREAS, Opposition to the Hyde Amendment represents an effort to make every American citizen complicit in high-handed moral rebellion against the Author of Life (Acts 3:15); now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, June 15-16, 2021, condemn any effort to repeal the Hyde Amendment as morally abhorrent, a violation of Biblical ethics, contrary to the natural law, and a moral stain on our nation; and be it further

RESOLVED, That Southern Baptists call on Congress and the President to uphold the Hyde Amendment and all pro-life Amendments, to protect life, and to prevent taxpayers from being complicit in the moral evil of abortion; and be it finally

RESOLVED, That Southern Baptists should work through all available cultural and legislative means to end the moral scourge of abortion as we also seek to love, care for, and minister to women who are victimized by the unjust abortion industry.

(resolutions continue on next page) Tuesday, June 15, 2021 SBC BULLETIN Page 9 RESOLUTION 4: ON THE EQUALITY ACT WHEREAS, All persons are created in God’s image (Genesis WHEREAS, The Equality Act would coerce healthcare providers 1:27), are made to glorify Him (Isaiah 43:7), and, based upon these to participate in and provide abortions, hormone therapies, and truths, possess inherent dignity; and other procedures which may violate their deeply held religious beliefs; and WHEREAS, God’s design was the creation of two distinct sexes, male and female (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4), which designate WHEREAS, The Equality Act would undermine the bipartisan, the fundamental distinction that God has embedded in the very nearly half-century old Hyde Amendment, which protects federal biology of the human race; and taxpayer dollars from funding abortion; and

WHEREAS, The Bible gives us clear instruction and boundaries WHEREAS, The Equality Act would undermine decades of hard- with regard to what constitutes God-honoring expression of human fought civil rights protections for women and girls by threatening sexuality (Genesis 2:24; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Romans competition in sports and disregarding the privacy concerns 1:26-27); and women rightly have about sharing sleeping quarters and intimite facilities with members of the opposite sex; and WHEREAS, Southern Baptists resolved in 2014 “On Transgender Identity” that, “The Fall of man into sin and God’s subsequent WHEREAS, By departing from our foundations of civic tolerance curse have introduced brokenness and futility into God’s good this divisive legislation would undermine the ability of Americans creation,” and therefore, as a result some are tempted to question who disagree to work together for the common good; now, God’s gift of sexuality; and therefore, be it

WHEREAS, The Equality Act seeks to revise the Civil Rights Act RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist of 1964 by adding a prohibition of discrimination on the basis of Convention meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, June 15—16, 2021, sexual orientation or gender identity; and extend love and compassion to those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender and invite all members of this community WHEREAS, The First Amendment of the Constitution prohibits to trust in Christ and to experience renewal in the gospel; and be the Congress from making any law prohibiting the free exercise of it further religion; and RESOLVED, That we proclaim that Christ offers forgiveness of WHEREAS, Congressman Chuck Schumer and Senator Ted sin for those who turn from their sins and believe on Christ; and Kennedy wrote that “governments should not substantially burden be it further religious exercise without compelling justification” in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), which President Bill RESOLVED, That we believe effective Gospel ministry Clinton signed into law after the act passed with overwhelming to individuals who consider themselves part of the LGBTQ bipartisan support in the Congress; and community requires that we speak to them and about them with respect and Christlike love, while holding firmly to our biblical WHEREAS, If enacted, the Equality Act would explicitly exclude convictions on these issues; and be it further RFRA claims in relation to the Equality Act and would explicitly permit the government to place substantial burdens upon religious RESOLVED, That we, therefore, encourage our fellow Southern exercise without having to demonstrate any compelling justification Baptists to engage discussion of the Equality Act and related issues in order to do so; and with this in mind; and be it further

WHEREAS, This change in the status of the the right to free RESOLVED, That we strongly oppose the Equality Act and urge exercise enjoyed by all Americans, if it were to take place, would Congress to reject this dangerous legislation, which represents one bring sweeping and historic changes to religious liberty with of the greatest threats to religious liberty in our nation’s history; devastating effects to this foundational freedom; and and be it finally

WHEREAS, Faith-based charities whose core religious beliefs RESOLVED, That we affirm the role of churches in providing about human dignity, sexuality, gender, and marriage shape their compassionate care, biblical truth, and restorative hope to men, ministry policies would be forced under the Equality Act to women, and children, regardless of sexual orientation or gender choose between freely exercising those core religious beliefs or identity, while joyfully celebrating God’s good design in sexuality abandoning their ministries; and as clearly expressed in Scripture.

WHEREAS, This sort of governmental punishment against faith- based charities for serving the common good according to their cherished beliefs would be unprecedented; and,

(resolutions continue on next page) Page 10 SBC BULLETIN Tuesday, June 15, 2021 RESOLUTION 5: ON ABUSE AND PASTORAL QUALIFICATIONS WHEREAS, Scripture says that pastors, elders, and overseers are to be “above reproach” (1 Timothy 3:2) and “blameless” (Titus 1:6); and

WHEREAS, The Baptist Faith & Message says that pastors should be “qualified by Scripture”; and

WHEREAS, Sexual abuse is an action repugnant to the teachings of Scripture and reprehensible even to those who are not believers; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in Nashville, TN, June 15-16, 2021, believe that any person who has committed sexual abuse is permanently disqualified from holding the office of pastor; and be it finally

RESOLVED, That we recommend that all of our affiliated churches apply this standard to all positions of church leadership.

RESOLUTION 6: ON SOLE MEMBERSHIP WHEREAS, Sole membership is the legal relationship between the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention and Convention entities; and

WHEREAS, The Southern Baptist Convention exclusively retains sole membership of all Convention entities; and

WHEREAS, Each entity has incorporated language reflecting the Convention’s sole membership into their respective corporate charters and associated public filings; and

WHEREAS, The adoption of sole membership by each entity of the Convention followed numerous public, private, written, and spoken assurances from Convention attorneys that the provision would not undermine the integrity of our historic trustee system of governance on behalf of the Convention; and

WHEREAS, These written legal advisories and public presentations specifically stated that the sole member rights of the Convention were both non-transferable and non-accretive to any subsidiary organization or entity of the Convention; and

WHEREAS, Neither the ministry assignment of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention nor any of the Convention’s other commissions, seminaries, or entities ascribe to that entity the responsibility or privilege to exercise the sole membership rights of the Convention ad interim; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, June 15-16, 2021, affirm the Convention’s exclusive sole membership of each Convention entity; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we proudly affirm our heritage of trustee governance of our various entities, on behalf of the Convention, which allows each entity to undertake their respective ministry assignment without infringing upon the governance of other entities or interfering in their administration or ministry assignment; and be it finally

RESOLVED, That we delight in the harmonious cooperative work of our Convention entities in fulfillment of their respective ministry assignments, in order to assist our churches to fulfill the Great Commission.

(resolutions continue on next page) Tuesday, June 15, 2021 SBC BULLETIN Page 11 RESOLUTION 7: ON CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP WHEREAS, Scripture says, “Let everyone submit to the governing authorities, since there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are instituted by God. So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves” (Romans 13:1-2); and

WHEREAS, Scripture says, “Submit to every human authority because of the Lord, whether to the emperor as the supreme authority or to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do what is evil and to praise those who do what is good. For it is God’s will that you silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good” (1 Peter 2:13-15); and

WHEREAS, Scripture says, “First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity” (1 Timothy 2:1-2); now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, June 15–16, 2021, affirm our commitment to the Christian ideal of citizenship; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we affirm our responsibility to pray for our governmental leaders, submit to God-ordained governmental authority, and hold public servants accountable to govern wisely and in a manner consistent with biblical principles; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we affirm the ultimate Lordship of Jesus Christ over every earthly kingdom and acknowledge that patriotic love of our country and countrymen is a civic virtue consistent with the Lordship of Christ; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we affirm the supremacy of our gospel witness above partisan politics, rejecting every idolatrous expression of love for our country as inconsistent with our ultimate loyalty to Christ and His kingdom; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we oppose any and all efforts to promote any political candidate, party, or platform through coercion, suppression, misinformation, or violence, especially when undertaken by professing believers in the name of God; and be it further
