FIRST-PERSON: What is the role of the trustee in the Southern Baptist Convention?
Perhaps one of the most important roles in our entire Convention belongs to the trustees of our entities. Former president and CEO of the Executive Committee, Morris Chapman once said, “The strength of the Southern Baptist Convention is its people…This [nomination and trustee process] is open to any and every Southern Baptist who is a member in good standing of a Southern Baptist Church. Whether you choose to engage in the process is a matter for you to prayerfully determine…Trustees have a critical role in the life of the Southern Baptist Convention.”
