SBC 2026: 5 key resolutions passed in Orlando

By Michael Gryboski, Editor Twitter

5. Political violence and other resolutions

Other resolutions commemorate volunteer and bivocational pastors, acknowledge evangelism opportunities for people with disabilities, denounced political violence and called for decent treatment of immigrants while also demanding proper enforcement of immigration law.

During a discussion of the political violence resolution, messenger William Wolfe proposed adding a section to specifically honor the memory of conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was assassinated last September while doing an open-forum debate event at the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, leaving behind a wife and two small children.

However, the amendment failed, in part because many believed the resolution, which had a broad condemnation of political violence, should not name specific victims of extremism.
