Motions 1 2

Meridith Stone, messenger, Calvary Baptist Church, Waco brought a motion for consideration. I move that the Baptist General Convention of Texas affirm women in all ministry and pastoral roles and that the BGCT Executive Board be instructed to have staff create programs, resources and advocacy initiatives to assist churches in affirming, appointing and employing women in ministerial and pastoral roles.

Ellis Orozco, messenger, First Baptist Church, Richardson, made a motion for consideration. I move that the Baptist General Convention of Texas uphold the autonomy of the local church to affirm a cooperating church’s authority to call women to congregational and vocational ministry as they, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the guidance of sacred Scripture, deem fit.
