WHEREAS, The Baptist General Convention of Texas is |
|
|
celebrating the 75th anniversary of its Christian Life Commission |
|
|
in 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The idea for the Christian Life Commission was first |
|
|
conceived by a group of messengers in 1949, when they voted that the |
|
|
Baptist General Convention of Texas should initiate a plan to offer |
|
|
spiritual guidance on current events and modern-day issues; the |
|
|
commission was officially established in 1950; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, the Christian Life Commission has |
|
|
developed a number of commendable programs, including ministries |
|
|
that advocate for justice and public policies, promote ethical |
|
|
Christian living, and partner with other organizations to provide |
|
|
help to those in need; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Christian Life Commission has played an |
|
|
instrumental role in advancing the mission of the Baptist General |
|
|
Convention of Texas, and it is indeed fitting to recognize the |
|
|
organization's significant contributions on this special milestone |
|
|
in its history; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature |
|
|
hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Christian Life |
|
|
Commission and extend to all those affiliated with the organization |
|
|
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the commission as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas Senate. |
