Messengers referred one motion for a vote at the 2012 annual meeting in New Orleans.
The motion by Keith Rogers of Santan Baptist Church on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Chandler, Ariz., called for the Committee on the Order of Business to reinstitute at least one evening session, preferably on Tuesday evening, for the annual meeting.
According to Rogers, “many of our lay leaders, including some from the church that I pastor, and bivocational pastors who could only attend an evening session, were not offered that opportunity this year.”
Rogers, in the same motion, said a missionary appointment service should be a part of that evening session. The Committee on the Order of Business moved that the motion be referred for consideration in connection with the 2012 SBC annual meeting. Messengers approved.
Eleven other motions were automatically referred to various entities because they dealt with the internal operations or ministries of SBC entities and bylaws. Four motions were ruled out of order. (BP)
