Washington — Timothy Tee Boddie, a former pastor, university chaplain and divinity school administrator, has been named general secretary of the Progressive National Baptist Convention (PNBC).
Boddie who was until recently director of the master of arts in Christian education program at Shaw University Divinity School in Raleigh, North Carolina, began work Sept. 8.
As CEO, Boddie will execute the policies and programs of PNBC, including planning and supervising convention procedures while overseeing operations. The group was formed in 1961 by supporters of Martin Luther King Jr. active in the Civil Rights Movement.
PNBC President James Perkins, pastor of Greater Christ Baptist Church, Detroit, Michigan, welcomed Boddie’s selection. “We believe he is the right person for us at the right time,” Perkins said. “I am looking forward to working with him to move our great convention forward.”
