SBCAL to vote on statement protecting minors

Associational leaders will vote in June on a document encouraging Southern Baptist associations, state conventions and churches to proactively address and prevent sexual abuse of minors.

The Southern Baptist Conference of Associational Leaders (SBCAL) drafted the document in cooperation with officers of the Southern Baptist Convention Fellowship of State Executive Directors to serve as a resource and recommendation for churches and ministries. 

Already approved by SBCAL and fellowship executives, the greater SBCAL membership will vote on the statement at the SBCAL annual meeting June 10–11 in Birmingham.
