A resolution has been defined as an expression of opinion from a messenger, as opposed to a motion, which calls for action. The following guidelines are offered for persons desiring to submit a resolution.

• Only registered messengers may submit a resolution.

• Resolutions must be submitted in print directly to any member of the Resolutions Committee on Monday, November 14 before 10:00 AM. The committee members are identified on page 41 of the Bulletin. The committee members will be available to receive resolutions and answer questions at the front of the stage on Monday morning, Nov. 14 following the 8:00 AM worship service (which should conclude around 9:00 AM). The Resolutions Committee will then be available in the Rangers, Room 108, on the Lower Level of the Waco Convention Center until 10:00 AM. All resolutions must be submitted to the committee by that time.

• The resolution should be typed and state the name of the messenger submitting the resolution, the name of the BGCT church from which the messenger was elected, and a contact phone number in case the Resolutions Committee has questions or concerns.

• Anyone needing help submitting a resolution may contact any members of the Resolutions Committee or the BGCT staff liaison Dr. Katie Fruge at (817) 475-4173 or katie.fruge@texasbaptists.org

The Resolutions Committee will consider every resolution properly submitted. However, the Resolutions Committee is responsible for deciding which resolutions will be presented to the messengers for their consideration (see Article IV, Section 5 of the Bylaws of the BGCT).
