KBC Now Accepting Resolutions Under New Procedures
Release Date: 06/05/2007

LOUISVILLE – Following new procedures approved at last year’s annual meeting, the Kentucky Baptist Convention’s Committee on Resolutions is now accepting resolutions to be considered at the 2007 annual meeting.

All resolutions eligible for consideration must adhere to the new procedures. The procedures specify that submissions will be received as early as June 1 but no later than 30 days prior to the next KBC annual meeting. This year, that date will be October 14, 2007.

Previously, convention messengers were required to present resolutions by the close of the afternoon session on the first day of the convention. As stated in the new procedures, the changes are designed to “facilitate thorough consideration and to expedite the committee’s work.”

Resolutions must now be accompanied by a letter or e-mail from a church qualified to send a messenger to the annual meeting, stating that the person submitting the resolution is in good membership standing. No more than three resolutions per person will be considered each year.

Other new guidelines related to proposed resolutions include:
- Resolutions must be typewritten, titled and dated.
- Resolutions must include complete contact information for both the person submitting it, and his or her church.
- Resolutions must be addressed to the Committee on Resolutions in care of the KBC Executive Office at its registered or e-mail address. Electronic copies of resolutions are preferred.

The Committee on Resolutions will review all properly submitted proposals and submit only the resolutions the committee recommends for adoption at the annual meeting. By a simple majority, the convention may also consider any other resolution properly submitted to the committee.

Also new this year, a list of the titles and dispositions of all properly submitted proposed resolutions will be distributed to messengers at the convention. The list will include the name and city of the person who proposed each resolution.

The 2007 annual meeting will take place Nov. 13-14 at Severns Valley Baptist Church in Elizabethtown.

Resolutions should be sent to the Committee on Resolutions in care of the KBC Executive Office at P.O. Box 43433, Louisville, KY 40253-0433 or executive@kybaptist.org.

For more information, call (502) 489-3577 or (866) 489-3577 (toll free in Ky. only).
