Selected Quote

"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


Cooperative Program

Definition of the Cooperative Program

On June 12, 2007, the Southern Baptist Convention adopted Recommendation 12: Definition of the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention, as follows:

The Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention recommends to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in San Antonio, Texas, June 12–13, 2007, that a Cooperative Program definition be adopted as follows:

The Cooperative Program (CP) is Southern Baptists’ unified plan of giving through which cooperating Southern Baptist churches give a percentage of their undesignated receipts in support of their respective state convention and the Southern Baptist Convention missions and ministries.

The motion carried.
