SBC 2026: 5 key resolutions passed in Orlando
Southern Baptist Convention messengers passed a slate of resolutions in Orlando this week, from denouncing assisted suicide to marking America's 250th birthday and wrestling over how to mourn victims of political violence.
On Wednesday, messengers to SBC's Annual Meeting passed several resolutions, which are defined by SBC rules as “an expression of opinion or concern." In comparison to a motion, which calls for action, a resolution “is not used to direct an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention to specific action other than to communicate the opinion or concern expressed.”
The resolutions were passed through raised-ballot voting rather than a counted secret ballot, with some debate and amendments offered on the diverse proposals put forth.
