"There
should be an 'Abstract of Principles', or careful statement of theological
belief, which every professor in such an institution must sign when
inaugurated, so as to guard against the rise of erroneous and injurious
instruction in such a seat of sacred learning."
James
P. Boyce from "Three Changes in
Theological Institutions"
- summarized by John Broadus, 1856
Resolutions
A resolution has traditionally been defined as an
expression of opinion or concern, as compared to a motion, which
calls for action. A resolution is not used to direct an entity of
the Southern Baptist Convention to specific action other than to
communicate the opinion or concern expressed. Resolutions are passed
during the annual Convention meeting.
