SBC 2026: 5 key resolutions passed in Orlando
2. Antisemitism
Messengers also passed a resolution titled “On Antisemitism,” which denounced the rise in antisemitic bigotry and violence since the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that killed around 1,200 people and led to the ensuing Israeli military offensive.
“This rising hatred includes conspiracy theories perpetuated online and through social media, falsely accusing the Jewish people as a whole of controlling media, finance, politics, weather, and culture for sinister ends that are modern echoes of historic libels that have incited persecution for centuries,” the resolution stated.
“Such conspiracy theories and condemnations of the Jewish people are contrary to the truth and the clear teaching of Scripture regarding human dignity.”
The resolution went on to “call upon Southern Baptists to combat antisemitism in our churches and communities through biblical teaching, personal friendship with Jewish neighbors, courageous public witness, and prayer for the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of Israel.”
