ORLANDO — Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear has announced the members of the 2020 Committee on Resolutions for the June 9-10 SBC annual meeting in Orlando.

“I believe our 2020 Resolutions Committee reflects the various interests and concerns of Southern Baptists,” Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in the Raleigh-Durham, N.C., area, said. “They were chosen because they love Southern Baptists, are committed to sound doctrine, and demonstrate a desire for the gospel to be above all.

“Each unequivocally affirms historic Baptist doctrine, including the inerrancy of God’s Word, the exclusivity of Christ and faithful complementarian convictions. I believe they will lead us toward unity and forward progress in the Great Commission.”

Ed Stetzer was named as the committee’s chairman Feb. 11.

Stetzer is a professor at Wheaton College, where he also serves as executive director of the Billy Graham Center and dean of the School of Missions, Ministry, and Leadership. Stetzer is still a member of Grace Church in Hendersonville, but has announced plans to join a church in the Chicago area.

Robyn Hari, a member of ClearView Baptist Church, Franklin, was the lone Tennessee Baptist chosen to serve on the Resolutions Committee.
