SBC 2026: 5 key resolutions passed in Orlando

By Michael Gryboski, Editor Twitter

4. America's 250th anniversary

Another resolution that passed at the SBC Annual Meeting is one commemorating the 250th anniversary of United States independence. Titled, “On the 250th Anniversary of the United States and the Baptist Contribution to Religious Liberty,” the resolution highlights the nation’s founding and Baptist contributions to the principles of religious liberty.

“Baptist leaders such as Isaac Backus, John Leland, and others played a vital role in advocating for religious liberty, contributing to the development and eventual adoption of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees the free exercise of religion and prohibits the establishment of a state church,” the resolution states.
