LOUISVILLE – The Kentucky Baptist Convention’s Committee on Resolutions is accepting proposed resolutions to be considered at the 2008 annual meeting through Oct. 11.
KBC procedures specify that submissions can be received as early as June 1 but no later than 30 days prior to the next KBC annual meeting. This year’s annual meeting will be held Nov. 11 at Immanuel Baptist Church in Lexington.
Resolutions must 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 rules for submitting resolutions are:
- 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. Resolutions may be based on proposals received by the convention. By a simple majority, the convention may also consider any other resolution properly submitted to the committee.
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.
Proposed 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.
