At the 2022 SBC Annual meeting the following motion was made and referred to the Executive Committee:
Motion: I move that the Constitution of the Southern Baptist Convention be amended to include an enumerated 6th item under Article 3, Paragraph 1 concerning "Composition." The enumerated 6th item would read:
“6. Does not affirm, appoint, or employ a woman as a pastor of any kind.”
Sign
the Letter to the SBC Executive Committee urging them to propose the above constitutional amendment at the 2023 annual meeting.
This amendment aims at maintaining our Convention's unity (Eph. 4:3) by reaffirming our commitment to the Bible (1 Tim. 2:12, 3:1-7) and our confession of faith which declares, "the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture."
